Man arrested over 1976 Kingsmill massacre

A man has been arrested by detectives investigating the sectarian murder of 10 Protestant workmen in Northern Ireland 40 years ago.

The 59-year-old suspect was detained two months after police announced a major forensic breakthrough in the unsolved investigation into the mass shooting at the village of Kingsmill, Co Armagh.

At the end of May, the PSNI revealed a potential match had been found to a palm print left on a getaway vehicle used by the republican paramilitaries.
