A man accused of murdering three police officers near Lurgan in 1982 has had his case adjourned.
Martin McCauley (62) had his case mentioned at Craigavon Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
Three Royal Ulster Constabulary officers were murdered in an explosion at Kinnego Embankment near Lurgan in October 1982.
The officers were Sergeant Sean Quinn and Constables Allan McCloy and Paul Hamilton.
They were on duty when the car they were travelling in drove over a bomb that had been hidden in the road.
The IRA claimed responsibility for the attack.
All three officers were in an unmarked police car and the bomb was detonated remotely by a command wire.
McCauley, who is originally from County Armagh, has an address listed at Naas in the Republic of Ireland.
His lawyers are seeking permission from the PSNI to use material from the so-called Stalker Sampson inquest.
At Friday’s Court a defence lawyer said discussions about that are ongoing.
The case was adjourned to June 20.
