Police have released an e-fit image of the suspected gunman who murdered a man outside a school in west Belfast just over a month ago.

Jim Donegan, 43, was gunned down in front of schoolchildren and parents as he waited to pick up his 13-year-old son on the Glen Road on Tuesday 4 December 2018.

“I have released an Evofit image of what the suspected gunman may look like, in the hope that someone may have seen this person who murdered Jim and put the lives of countless children at risk,” PSNI Detective Chief Inspector Pete Montgomery said.

“I am appealing to the community to help me put this extremely dangerous individual behind bars.

“If anyone recognises this person or has any information that could assist with the investigation, please contact 101 and ask for the detectives in Seapark investigating Jim Donegan’s murder.

“Or if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details, they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
