Man held in connection with Nelson's death

Detectives investigating the murder of civil rights lawyer Rosemary Nelson today arrested a man in Devon.

Mrs Nelson was killed in March 1999 when a bomb exploded under her car outside her home in Lurgan, Co Armagh.

Renegade loyalist paramilitaries have been blamed for the killing.

An investigation headed by Colin Port, the deputy Chief Constable of Norfolk Constabulary, was set up following her murder.

Officers on Mr Port's team, assisted by members of Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, today detained a 32-year-old man in Plymouth.

The man, originally from Co Armagh, was being transported to Northern Ireland where he will be quizzed about Mrs Nelson's murder.

Two men arrested last week in connection with the killing have since been released.
