Whoever committed this crime is pure dirt.

The house of the late and much loved musician Stephen Martin, who performed under the moniker Rainy Boy Sleep, was burgled while he was missing.

Martin, 29, went missing in July and was later found to have died.

His house in Derry was broken into between 11 and 12 August, before his body was found in Co. Sligo on 13 August.

The PSNI said: “Sentimental items were stolen including an electric Startocaster guitar, keyboard, a sum of money and assorted musical equipment.

“Stephen’s family would appreciate any help in locating these items.”

Stephen performed for one of JOE’s first Sunday Sessions in 2014.
