Two arrested hospital over loyalists murder

Two victims of paramilitary shootings are being questioned in Belfast about the murder of a Protestant.

The men have been arrested in hospital where they are being treated after being shot at in republican areas of west Belfast.

They are being questioned by detectives investigating the killing of David McDowell, who was battered to death in the loyalist Shankill Road area last week.

Police made the arrests as they carried out searches in both republican and loyalist areas of Belfast.
