A man has been found guilty of murdering Damien Heagney, as well as dismembering and disposing of his body.

Cookstown man Damien Heagney, 47, was last seen alive at the end of December 2021.

He was reported missing in July 2022 and the following month his partially dismembered remains were recovered from the Cappagh Reservoir in County Tyrone.

Stephen McCourt, 41, from Riverview in Augher, County Tyrone, had denied the charges but was found guilty on Wednesday.
