A reward of up to £20,000 has been offered for information which leads to the arrest and conviction of those who killed a man in a social club in Belfast.

Detectives from the PSNI major investigation team probing the murder of 42-year-old Sean Fox in west Belfast on Sunday have released CCTV footage which shows two hooded individuals walking to the club where the shooting occurred.

Detective Superintendent Eamonn Corrigan said: "On Sunday afternoon, at around 2.25pm, two masked gunmen entered the Donegal Celtic Sports and Social Club on the Suffolk Road in west Belfast and made their way past several people.

"Sean Fox, who was a married father of two and a regular visitor to the club, was singled out as he sat enjoying a drink in a busy function room.

"He was shot multiple times by both gunmen.

"At one point, both gunmen stood over Sean, shooting him, as he collapsed to the floor.

"This was a calculated, planned, ruthless execution.

"It was carried out in broad daylight and in the presence of others.

"The gunmen arrived, carried out the murder and left the club in under a minute.

"They were inside the premises for approximately 21 seconds."
