CONVICTED murderer Fred McClenaghan is a loyalist with a history of violence.
The 55-year-old, from Broad Street in Magherafelt, Co Derry, was sentenced to 13 years for the murder of his ex-girlfriend at the Portstewart launderette where she worked in March 2011.
The Irish News previously revealed that McClenaghan has strong links to loyalist paramilitaries and is believed to have been responsible for directing sectarian attacks on Catholic-owned homes and property in Magherafelt in recent years.
The town's notorious Leckagh estate, the scene of dozens of sectarian attacks including pipe bombings of homes belonging to Catholics and people in mixed marriages, was a favoured stomping ground of the loyalist thug.
McClenaghan is also suspected of orchestrating serious sectarian clashes between loyalist and nationalist youths in the normally peaceful town in 2007.
Following Mrs Millican's murder, three police officers were later disciplined for failing to act on a warning that McClenaghan had a gun and had made death threats.
