Former detectives arrested as inquiry takes new twist

A POLICE Ombudsman inquiry into a series of loyalist murders in Belfast in the 1990s took a fresh twist yesterday with the arrest of two former RUC detectives.

A third former detective, Johnston ‘Jonty’ Brown was expected to be arrested last night when he returned to Belfast from Turkey.

Two premises, including Mr Brown’s home in Ballymena, were raided and items seized.
