Man arrested in relation to loyalist murder in 1986

Police in the North have arrested a 44-year-old man in connection with a loyalist murder 23 years ago.

The man was detained in the greater Belfast area today by the PSNI's Historical Enquiries Team, which was set up to investigate unsolved murders dating back several decades.

Today's arrest relates to the fatal shooting of Robert Coggles in August 1986.

The 31-year-old is believed to have been killed by a UVF punishment squad before being buried in a shallow grave on the northern outskirts of Belfast.
