Man Arrested In Caroline Graham Murder Investigation

Detectives from the Serious Crime Branch have arrested a 53-year-old man on suspicion of the murder of Caroline Graham in Portadown, County Armagh, in 1989.

The man has been arrested on suspicion of Caroline's murder and possession of a firearm. He was arrested in County Antrim this morning and is being questioned at the Serious Crime Suite in Antrim town.

The move follows operations by specialist forensic scientists who were called to examine a house in Hanover Street in Portadown, where Caroline had lived with her boyfriend before she went missing.

On Monday, the house was subjected to a detailed examination by two PSNI victim recovery dogs. As a result of indications by the dogs, forensic scientists were then asked to examine certain items in the property.

The search continued on Tuesday and into Wednesday.

Police have repeated their appeal to anyone with information about 19-year-old Caroline, her murder or where her remains are buried.

Anyone with information can contact detectives on 02890 700 727 or 07585 22 82 83.
