Newtownards air crash victim laid to rest
The funeral has taken place of the County Armagh businessman who died in a light aircraft crash at Newtownards airport last week.
Phillip Murdock was one of two victims involved in the crash last Tuesday night, along with Caroline Mawhinney.
Mr Murdock's funeral took place at Ballymagarrick Gospel Hall in Carryduff.
It's understood the pair were both members of the Ulster Flying Club.
The statement from the Ulster Flying Club read: “On behalf of the Chairman, Directors, members and staff of the Ulster Flying Club, it is with great sadness and regret that we must share the tragic news that two of our club members lost their lives in the aircraft crash that took place at our airfield in Newtownards last night, the 19th of July, at approx. 20:20."
Mr Murdock was the founder and managing director of Lurgan-based security company Envision Intelligent Solutions, that was then sold recently to a multinational conglomerate.
The incident is being investigated by specialist investigators from the PSNI and the Air Accident Investigation Branch of the CAA.
