An inquiry into the murder of Northern Ireland solicitor Rosemary Nelson has opened in County Armagh.

Mrs Nelson died after loyalists planted a booby-trap bomb underneath her car outside her Lurgan home in March 1999.

Retired judge Sir Michael Morland is chairing a three-strong panel examining alleged security force collusion. It will hear evidence next spring.

One of the Nelson family's solicitors, Barra McGrory, said it had been "a long road" for the family.
