The body of the former Republican prisoner was found at Braehead Road on the outskirts of the city. He had been stripped and bound and there were two bullet wounds to his head.

Mr Doherty had claimed MI5 had tried to recruit him and, a few days after his murder the Real IRA said he was a member and claimed responsibility for the murder.
