Three held in connection with Andrew Burns murder

Police in the North have arrested three men in connection with the murder of Andrew Burns in Co Donegal.

The men, aged 18, 33 and 42, were detained this morning in the Strabane area and have been taken to the Antrim Serious Crime Suite for questioning.

Mr Burns was shot dead in the border village of Donnyloop earlier this month.

His killing has been blamed on a small dissident republican group calling itself Oglaigh na hEireann, which had apparently accused the 27-year-old of being an informer.
