A BOY who won a $2 million (€1.58 million) settlement in the US after being wrongly accused of murdering an 11-year-old girl in 1998, has been arrested connection with a double shooting.

The boy, now 15, was allegedly caught with his older brother committing the crime on video surveillance, police said.
