    'Unknown' police officer involved in 2005 paramilitary murder attempt.

    BBC NEWS | Northern Ireland | Foyle and West | Lawyer jailed for inciting murder

    A Londonderry solicitor who pleaded guilty to inciting loyalist paramilitaries to murder has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

    The judge told him: "It was a wicked thing to incite men of violence."
    Mr Justice Deeny continued: "This was all the more so when you were a solicitor.
    "Such conduct must be deserving of a severe sentence."

    An earlier court hearing was told that Sandhu, who practised out of offices in Limavady, incited members of the UVF to murder Mr Hillier as he recovered in hospital in August 2005 from a failed attempt on his life.

    The prosecution said Sandhu phoned an unknown person from Antrim police station and indicated that Mr Hillier "should be taken out".

    i think you got a bit muddled with your headline. There is no police officer involved.
