The pullquote section is limited to a maximum width of 620 pixels. For showcase images, the caption is positioned statically and spans the full width, also capped at 620 pixels. On screens wider than 71.25em (1140px), the caption becomes absolutely positioned with a max width of 140 pixels. On screens wider than 81.25em (1300px), this increases to 220 pixels.
Immersive elements stretch to the full viewport width, accounting for any scrollbar. On smaller screens (up to 71.24em), they are capped at 978 pixels, with captions having horizontal padding of 10 pixels (or 20 pixels on screens at least 30em wide). Between 46.25em and 61.24em, the max width is 738 pixels. On very small screens (up to 46.24em), the element is shifted left by 10 pixels (or 20 pixels on screens at least 30em wide), with no right margin.
For showcase figures in the main content area, the left margin is adjusted on larger screens: minus 160 pixels on screens wider than 71.25em, and minus 240 pixels on screens wider than 81.25em.
The furniture wrapper is positioned relatively. On screens wider than 61.25em, it uses a grid layout with five columns for the title, headline, meta, and standfirst, followed by five more columns for the portrait. The rows are sized proportionally: 0.25fr for the title, 1fr for the headline, 0.75fr for the standfirst, and auto for the meta. The headline section has a top border. The meta section is positioned relatively with a small top padding and no right margin. The standfirst has a bottom margin of 4 pixels, and its list items are 20 pixels in font size. Links in the standfirst are underlined with a 6-pixel offset, using a light gray underline color, and have no background image or bottom border.I’m unable to process this text because it appears to be CSS code, not natural language. Could you provide the text you’d like me to rewrite in fluent, natural English?When Lyra McKee was shot and killed on the night of 18 April 2019, around 150 people were nearby. The 29-year-old journalist had been watching from a crowd as rioting broke out in Derry, Northern Ireland. Police footage captured a blurry image of a man firing a handgun. “Someone’s fucking shot,” a bystander could be heard crying in mobile phone footage shown as evidence in court. “There’s a fucking kid shot in the head.” The New IRA has claimed responsibility for her death.
This July, more than seven years after McKee was killed, a Belfast judge delivered a verdict following a 25-month trial. Three men were found not guilty of her murder, among a series of mostly unsuccessful prosecutions. The judgment criticized the prosecution’s case, especially the lack of evidence identifying the defendants as those shown, often masked, in video footage. None of the many onlookers on the street that night came forward as a witness to the murder.
Jason Murphy was head of major investigations for the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) when McKee was killed. The former detective superintendent oversaw homicide investigations across Northern Ireland’s six counties while managing his own caseload, including McKee’s murder. Next week, Channel 4 will air a three-part documentary on his investigation.

Jason Murphy was the lead investigator in the Lyra McKee murder trial in Northern Ireland.Murphy is confident he identified the shooter, who he believes “could only have been one person.” However, although the suspect was arrested, they were never charged. The prosecuting barrister felt that, based on the evidence they could present in court, a guilty verdict was unlikely. No eyewitness would confirm the suspect’s identity. Within days of the killing, the New IRA offered its “full and sincere apologies” to McKee’s family, but no individual was held accountable.
Murphy believes that a culture of silence within this close-knit community—partly due to a deep mistrust of the police, and partly out of fear of violent retaliation from allies of those involved—is denying the McKee family justice for Lyra.
“She was an innocent bystander,” he says. “It quickly became clear this was an attack on the police.”
It was a challenging investigation. McKee, who came from a Catholic background, was shot on the Creggan estate, one of Northern Ireland’s last IRA strongholds. During the Troubles, this mostly Catholic area was a violent battleground, and it remains hostile territory for the PSNI.
People here were reluctant to help “find someone within their own community who killed one of their own,” Murphy says. After McKee’s death, threatening graffiti appeared across Derry, and placards were tied to lamp-posts warning of consequences for providing information to the police. One read, “Informers will be shot. IRA,” illustrated with a rat in crosshairs.
Lyra McKee rose to prominence in 2014 after a blog post titled ‘Letter to my 14-year-old self,’ in which she spoke about growing up gay in Belfast.
Simple tasks were resource-intensive, with two public order units assigned to support each house search. The murder weapon wasn’t initially recovered from the scene, meaning “there were firearms circulating in the community, uncontrolled.”
Getting bystander mobile phone footage required “court warrants to do searches and seize mobile phones from teenagers.” This was necessary, but also to ensure that children weren’t targeted in revenge, Murphy says.
Early in the investigation, he learned that TV presenter Reggie Yates had been filming in Derry the night McKee was shot. A group of young men were showing Yates around the Creggan area for an MTV documentary about the impact of Brexit, though in her judgment, Mrs Justice Smyth stated it appeared Yates had been “making a documentary about Saoradh,” widely understood to be the political wing of the New IRA.
In the footage, one man, Patrick Gallagher, tells Yates that there “could be a number of people gathered” outside a property being searched by police, including “those that are more than capable of carrying out acts of resistance.”
One of the last moments filmed is a woman pleading with Yates: “The rioting is going on because of the camera crew … it’s all set up for youse.”
The cameras are switched off before McKee is shot.
Days later, the BBC interviewed Gallagher for a Newsnight segment. He was asked if he was surprised that nobody had been charged with McKee’s murder. “Not really,” he replied. “People have called for members of this community to inform … but the people of this community know the life of an informer. Judging by history, they know exactly what would happen.”
Originally from Belfast, McKee had moved to Derry to live with her partner. Her book Angels with Blue Faces, about a Troubles-era murder, was published soon after her death.
She rose to prominence in 2014 after a blog post titled “Letter to my 14-year-old self,” in which she spoke about the struggle of growing up gay in Belfast. The letter was later turned into a short film.
Three men found not guilty of murdering journalist Lyra McKee Read more
While McKee was not the intended target of the NewThe IRA said she was “tragically killed while standing beside enemy forces,” but the prosecution still argued that “Lyra had been killed in a coordinated attack by members of the New IRA,” according to Murphy.
The prosecution also claimed that “connections between mobile phones showed a direct link between the riot and known New IRA leadership. So, the riot and the shooting of Lyra were one continuous event.”
In total, ten men were charged with 52 offences, and Gallagher was one of them. Three were charged with joint enterprise murder. None were accused of firing the gun, but of intentionally encouraging or helping the shooter. Separately, Niall Sheerin was sentenced to seven years in prison for possessing the murder weapon.
Of the nine men who were ultimately prosecuted (the tenth died last year), seven were acquitted on all charges by the judge, including the three charged with murder and Gallagher. Kieran McCool was found guilty of common assault, and Christopher Gillen of possessing and throwing petrol bombs, and riot. Because of the risk of paramilitary interference, there was no jury.
Murphy and his team “fully expected” to win the “vast majority” of prosecutions, including the murder charges.
The defence called no witnesses and presented only a small amount of evidence. The prosecution faced further problems when some of the limited identification evidence was dismissed by the court due to police errors. A firewall was set up between Murphy’s team and other PSNI officers who were tasked with identifying suspects.
“Without my knowledge, one of my team had visited the office of some of [these] officers,” says Murphy. “Those conversations should never have happened.”
If that evidence had been considered, Murphy admits the outcomes “could have been” different for some defendants, though there were “multiple strands the judge didn’t agree with.”
Lyra McKee’s sister, Nichola Corner, said she felt let down and that some people were “withholding evidence.”
Murphy believes McKee’s family are likely to feel let down by the police and prosecution. “I felt ashamed to be part of a system that failed this family and community,” he says. “I hoped the judgment would be the start of the grieving process for Lyra’s family.”
He says the case raises uncomfortable questions for the Northern Irish authorities. “How do we bring terrorist cases before the courts, with a realistic chance of conviction?” he asks. “If we can’t convict on the basis of five hours of documentary footage that shows almost the entire events, what else can we do?”
He believes the outcome risks reinforcing “fears from the public: ‘Why put my head above the parapet, give evidence in court, to have them found not guilty?'”
Nichola Corner, Lyra’s sister, says she feels “really, really let down.” She adds: “Some people have evidence that would help us and are choosing to withhold it.”
The Murder Detective starts on 26 August at 9pm on Channel 4.
