ADDITIONAL police documentation relating to the murder of Catholic postman Danny McColgan has been found, an inquest heard yesterday.
The court was told the information was discovered on a PSNI computer system that is "being replaced".
The inquest also heard the documentation may relate to the weapon or weapons used in the killing of the 20-year-old.
Mr McColgan was shot dead by the UDA as he arrived for work at a sorting office in the loyalist Rathcoole area in January 2002.
Nobody has ever been convicted of the killing of the father-of-one, who was from the Longlands area of Newtownabbey.
Initially the UDA used the Red Hand Commando cover name but later admitted it had carried out the shooting itself.
The inquest into Mr McColgan's death began last year and a previous hearing heard he had been shot 10 times.
The inquest, sitting in Laganside courts in Belfast, was due to hear evidence yesterday from a retired senior investigating police officer.
However, legal representatives asked senior coroner John Leckey for an adjournment after "additional documentation" had been found on a police computer system.
A solicitor for the PSNI said the information had been "located in a system that is being replaced".
He added that the computer system had "been obsolete" for some time.
The court heard the documents required redaction before being handed over, which may not "be completed by the middle of September".
The inquest is due to resume on September 28.
