A police file on a teenager arrested on suspicion of the manslaughter of a fellow school pupil in a playground incident is to be sent to prosecutors for assessment.

A man was arrested in England today in connection with a killing in the North more than two years ago.

Whoever started a deliberate fire which killed an elderly widow and her daughter may not have meant to hurt them, police said.

Two people were tonight being questioned about the brutal Christmas murder of an elderly woman in her Newry home.
