Man Arrested In Connection With Murder Of Paul McCauley
A man has been arrested in connection with the sectarian murder of Paul McCauley in L'Derry.
Detectives from the Serious Crime Branch arrested a 24-year-old man on Thursday morning.
Paul died in a care facility last month after being assaulted in July 2006.
Detective Chief Inspector Michael Harvey, from Serious Crime Branch, said: "After Paul's tragic death last month, the investigation has taken on a renewed impetus. We are following a definite line of enquiry and we are grateful to those individuals who came forward with information in the immediate aftermath of Paul’s death.
"But we can never have too much information about the events of that night nine years ago if we are to get justice for Paul. There may be other opportunities to gather information, either because of a change in someone's circumstances or a qualm of conscience.
"This is a very challenging investigation, especially with the passing of time, but we are fully committed to exploring all avenues and opportunities and I would appeal to everyone in the community, if they have any information, come forward and contact detectives."
Paul suffered brain injuries after he was attacked while he was at a barbecue at a house on Chapel Road on 15 July.
