Belfast High Court is due to hear legal argument today about Northern Secretary Paul Murphy's decision to re-imprison loyalist paramilitary Johnny Adair for breaching the terms of his early release.

A 17-year-old is due in court in the North today in connection with the murder of 22-year-old Jonathan Stewart last month.

Police investigating the murder of a man linked to an ongoing feud between loyalist paramilitaries today sought an extension to allow them to continue questioning a 23-year-old.
