A suspect in the murder of a Cork-born bishop in Los Angeles at the weekend has been apprehended. 

Named locally but not officially by police, the man is believed to have been taken into custody at his home in Torrance, a coastal city southwest of Los Angeles, two days after Bishop David O'Connell was found shot to death at a house in Hacienda Heights at around 1pm on Saturday.
