A man jailed for the murder of his ex partner at a Portstewart launderette has died in hospital.
Fred McClenaghan was serving a 13 year sentence for killing mother of four, Marion Millican, in March 2011.
He had long denied the killing but in September 2017, changed his plea to guilty during his third trial related to the murder.
