Pair held in Portadown over Nelson murder

The RUC have arrested two more men in Portadown as investigations continue into the murder of solicitor Rosemary Nelson.

The pair, aged 28 and 33, were detained this morning and taken to Gough Detention Centre in Armagh for questioning about "serious terrorist offences".

Another man arrested in Plymouth on Tuesday for questioning had his period of detention extended by three days yesterday.

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

The killing was blamed on loyalist splinter groups.
