A 50-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the murder of Mark Gourley.

Mr Gourley, 36, who went missing from Glengormley almost seven years ago, was last seen in the Burney's Lane area at around 2.30pm on 07 March.

He was a vulnerable individual and was on medication at the time of his disappearance.

His body has never been found.

Detective Inspector Darren McCartney said: "I am appealing to anyone who may have information about Mark’s disappearance or who may have seen Mark on or after 7 March 2009 to contact police.

"Previous appeals for information did generate reports of sightings but the last definite sighting of Mark was at 2.30pm on 7 March 2009 in the Burney’s Lane area of Glengormley. Mark did not have a mobile phone or a significant amount of money with him when he disappeared."
