Family of murdered loyalist offers £10,000 reward for information

The family of north Belfast loyalist John Boreland who was shot dead three years ago is offering a £10,000 reward for new information.

The 46-year-old was gunned down outside his home in Sunningdale Gardens by a gunman in August 2016.


Three men were jailed for perverting the course of justice last year.

And on the third anniversary of the murder, his family is offering a £10,000 reward and making a renewed appeal for information.

John’s mother and father, Winnie and Billy Boreland are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

“On 7 August 2016, our son John got out of his car at his flat when he was shot multiple times and left to die. John was a loving dad to three children and he never got to live to see his grandsons. He was also a much loved brother and uncle,” they said in a joint statement.

“Three years have passed without justice for our son’s brutal murder. Three men were jailed for perverting the course of justice last year but no one has been held accountable for taking John’s life and destroying ours in the process.

“Our broken lives will never be healed and we can’t get peace knowing that his murderer is still out there,” they added.

The couple is offering a £10,000 reward if someone can provide information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for their son’s murder.

“Please help us catch his killer – it’s never too late to come forward. Please tell police what you know. The number to call is 101,” the statement added.

Call the PSNI on 101.
