A 17-year-old is due in court in the North today in connection with the murder of 22-year-old Jonathan Stewart last month.

The teenager is expected to be charged with possession of a weapon and possession of material likely to be of use to paramilitaries.

Mr Stewart was shot dead in the kitchen of a house in Manor Street, north Belfast, on December 27 in an attack that police have blamed on the UDA's notorious "C" company, which is commanded by Adair.

The murder was linked to an ongoing feud between Adair's associates and the mainstream UDA leadership, which expelled the "C" Company commander from its ranks late last year.
