DUP member to be quizzed in inquiry into 1974 murder

A FORMER member of the Northern Ireland Assembly is expected to be questioned by detectives investigating the murder of a man whose body was found in a lake nearly 30 years ago.

Oliver Gibson, a member of the Rev Ian Paisley's Democratic Unionist Party and an ex-soldier in the Ulster Defence Regiment, is likely to be interviewed in connection with the death of Co Tyrone councillor Patrick Kelly.

Mr Gibson, 69, refused to comment last night but insisted: "I have nothing to hide and I have nothing to fear."
