Three more men arrested in Paul Quinn murder inquiry

Police in the North have arrested three more men this morning as part of the investigation into the murder of south Armagh man Paul Quinn last October.

The three were detained in south Armagh this morning at the request of the Gardaí.

Meanwhile, the PSNI has released two men in their 50s who were arrested on Tuesday in connection with the murder investigation.

A man in his 20s who was also detained on Tuesday remains in custody in Antrim, while Gardaí last night secured an extra 24 hours to question three men detained in Co Monaghan on the same day.

Mr Quinn, aged 21, was beaten to death by a gang of men after being lured to a remote farmhouse in Co Monaghan on October 20.

His family have accused IRA members in south Armagh of organising the killing.
