Mr Corrigan said Mr Caldwell is “making a good recovery but it is going to be a long road”
Police investigating the attempted murder of a John Caldwell say the inquiry has made “significant progress”.
Mr Caldwell, who was critically ill for some time at Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry, was left with life-changing injuries. He was discharged from hospital last month to continue his recovery at home.Detective Superintendent Eamonn Corrigan, who is leading the attempted murder inquiry, told the BBC “significant progress” has been made in the investigation, but did not give any further details.
Mr Corrigan said: “All the detectives working on the case know the importance of CCTV and the fact that a 15 or 20-second piece of footage could be crucial in building a case. An attack of this nature is carried out by multiple people who are organised. While the New IRA has admitted responsibility for the attack, Mr Corrigan said police believe the group may have been aided by a criminal gang.
