A man has been charged with the murder of a retired lecturer who was fatally shot with a crossbow bolt.

Gerald Corrigan, 74, was struck outside his home in a remote part of Holyhead, Anglesey, at about 12.35am on 19 April as he adjusted his satellite dish.

North Wales police said Terence Michael Whall, 38, of Bryngwran, had been charged with his murder. He is due to appear at Llandudno magistrates court.

Two other men, aged 36 and 48, who were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder, fraud and other offences, and a 50-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of money laundering and fraud-related offences, had been released on conditional bail, police said.

DCI Brian Kearney said police still wanted people to come forward and help with the investigation.

“Specialist officers continue to support Mr Corrigan’s partner, Marie, and his son and daughter, Neale and Fiona,” he said. “Our thoughts remain with them. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have assisted the inquiry to date.”

Corrigan died in hospital from his injuries on 11 May.

An initial line of inquiry was thought to be that he may have been accidentally shot by a lamper, a night-time hunter who uses bright lights to target animals.

Corrigan worked as a lecturer in photography and video in Lancashire before retiring to Anglesey more than 20 years ago.
