Three more arrests in Paul Quinn murder inquiry

Another three men have been arrested north of the border in connection with the investigation into the murder of south Armagh man Paul Quinn last October.

The three men, two in their 50s and one in his 20s, were detained during a number of searches in the Cullyhanna and Crossmaglen areas, which were carried out at the request of the Gardaí.

Earlier today, the Gardaí also arrested three men in their 20s and 30s following a series of raids in Co Monaghan.

They are being held at Monaghan and Carrickmacross garda stations under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.

Mr Quinn, 21, was beaten to death by a gang of men after being lured to a remote farm near Castleblaney on October 20.
