Teenager arrested in relation to policeman's murder

A teenager was arrested today by detectives investigating the murder of a policeman in the North.

Constable Stephen Carroll, 48, was shot in the back of the head when a gunman fired through the rear window of his unmarked patrol car.

Police said an 18-year-old man had been detained in Craigavon, Co Armagh, where the officer became the first member of the PSNI to be murdered.

Dissident republicans of the Continuity IRA have claimed responsibility.

Constable Carroll’s devastated wife Kate said: “A good husband has been taken away from me and my life has been destroyed.”
