Belfast councillors have agreed to create a garden in one of the city s public parks dedicated to parents who lost children during pregnancy and birth.
It comes as the Ogle family prepares to mark the second anniversary of his death next week.
Mr Ogle was beaten and stabbed 11 times by up to five men near his home at Cluan Place on January 27, 2019.
The East Belfast UVF later admitted its members were involved, but insisted the killing was not sanctioned at a leadership level.
Mr Ogle was targeted after getting involved in a brawl with a UVF man earlier that evening.
For the 18 months prior to his death he had been under threat from the terror gang having refused to show up for a pre-arranged punishment beating.
