Former DUP politician to be questioned over '74 murder

A former DUP Assemblyman is to be questioned by police in the North investigating the murder of a nationalist councillor in Co Tyrone almost thirty years ago.

Oliver Gibson, 69, is also a former member of the UDR who served in the area where father-of-three Patrick Kelly disappeared in July 1974.

His body later floated to the surface of a lake in Co Fermanagh, three weeks after it had been strapped down with two 56lb weights.

It has been claimed that illegal mobile UDR checkpoints were operating in the village of Trillick the night Mr Kelly was killed.
