Arrest made in connection with north Belfast killing

A man has been arrested in connection with police inquiries into the murder of Stephen Paul in north Belfast in July.

Mr Paul, 28, was shot at Wheatfield Crescent, Crumlin Road, on 30 July, in what is believed to have been part of the ongoing loyalist feud between the UVF and LVF.

Mr Paul, who had survived a previous murder bid in Bangor in January 1999, had received numerous death threats over the years.

Last month two men were questioned by police in connection with the killing.
