Politicians pay tribute to Belfast greengrocer

Politicians from across the political spectrum have been paying tribute to the 65-year-old Belfast greengrocer killed while trying to stop his delivery van from being stolen.

Harry Holland, a well-known republican and shopkeeper in the west of the city, was stabbed in the head with a screwdriver during the incident near his Norfolk Drive home on Tuesday night.

Two 17-year-old boys and a 15-year-old girl are still in police custody following the custody, while another 15-year-old girl has been released without charge.

The power-sharing Executive has paid tribute to Mr Holland, as has First Minister Ian Paisley and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, who knows the family personally.

The police say their investigation is progressing well, but Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams, who lived in the same street as Mr Holland, says they and the courts are failing the community.
