Man to face charge over 1981 death of nine-year-old Jennifer Cardy
12 April 2012
A man has been charged with the murder of a schoolgirl in Northern Ireland almost 30 years ago.
Nine-year-old Jennifer Cardy was abducted in the village of Ballinderry, near Lisburn, Co Down in August 1981 while she was out cycling.
Her body was found by fishermen at a nearby dam almost a week later.
A 62-year old man has been served with the murder charge in England.
He is expected to appear in court at a later date.
