Former soldiers quizzed over 1974 murder

TWO former soldiers were being questioned last night about the murder of a nationalist councillor in the North over 30 years ago.

They are being held at Antrim for interview by detectives investigating the murder of Patrick Kelly, aged 33, who was shot dead in July 1974 and his body then dumped into a lake.

Two other men who were also arrested as part of the investigation were released today without charge.
