Three men cleared over Lyra McKee killing

McKee's family said the verdict left them without justice after years of court proceedings. A judge ruled on Friday that Jordan Devine, Paul McIntyre and Peter Cavanagh couldn't be convicted because the evidence did not meet the required standard. More than 150 witnesses gave no information that helped investigators, relatives said.
