Posted on 18/11/2022
Pellegrino (Rino) Villani was gunned down in the driveway of his Magill home in 1990 and his killer or killers still remain at large.
On the evening of 17 November 1990 he had attended a wedding at the Enfield Hotel with his fiancé. When the pair left the hotel at about 11.30pm, Mr Villani drove to Portrush Road where his fiancé caught a taxi the rest of the way home.

A reward of up to $200,000 is on offer to anyone who provides information leading to a conviction in the case.
