The family of a man murdered by the IRA 30 years ago have said they have fresh hope that the net is closing on those responsible for his shooting.
New DNA evidence has been recovered in the course of an investigation into Tom Oliver s death.
The 43-year-old was abducted from his farm in the Republic of Ireland on 19 July 1991, before being found shot at Belleeks in County Armagh the next day.
Investigators said DNA evidence could help bring a prosecution.
Mr Oliver s murder is being examined by Operation Kenova, the unit headed by Jon Boutcher, which is looking into scores of Troubles-era killings.
