Arrests made over Hamill murder

The RUC have arrested a number of people in connection with the murder of Catholic Robert Hammill in 1997.

Mr Hamill was kicked to death by a loyalist mob in Portadown, just yards from an RUC Landrover in which two officers were sitting.

A number of arrests were made in operations around the Portadown area.

One of the men arrested is a reserve RUC constable.

One man has already been jailed for four years for causing affray in the connection.
