PSNI want more time to quiz Adams

Detectives questioning Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams over the murder of Belfast mother Jean McConville are to ask a judge for more time to interview him, Martin McGuinness has said.

With the initial 48-hour deadline looming for officers to either charge or release Mr Adams after his arrest on Wednesday night, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is to apply for an extension, the Deputy First Minister said.
