John Haggan was shot and killed while he socialised at Dunmore Greyhound Stadium on Alexandra Park Avenue in North Belfast
An appeal for information has been issued on the 30th anniversary of the murder of a police officer in Belfast.
Detective Chief Inspector Byrne from Legacy Investigation Branch said: “Jackie was socialising in the members’ bar on the upper floor of the stadium around 9.15pm when he was approached from behind by two gunmen, one of whom shot Jackie in the head from close range. He was shot again as he lay on the floor. The second gunman warned other customers not to move before firing into the ceiling to cover their getaway.
"This was a sickening attack on a family man who was out socialising with his wife and friends. Murdered in cold blood for no other reason than being a Police Officer providing a service to the local community and local people of east Belfast where he had been stationed for 12 years. This is in stark contrast to the terrorists responsible for his brutal murder.
