Man questioned on the abduction of Adair supporter

A 40-YEAR-OLD man was yesterday being questioned by police in Belfast about the disappearance and probable murder of a former right-hand man of jailed loyalist Johnny Adair.

The man, arrested in north Belfast, was being questioned about the whereabouts of 21-year-old Alan McCullough who has been missing since he was driven away from his Shankill Road home by two men last Wednesday. Police searching for McCullough said they believed he might have been murdered.

He was among the Ulster Defence Association’s C Company forced to flee Northern Ireland under threat of death during the UDA feud earlier this year.
