Detectives investigating the murder of journalist Martin O’Hagan in Co Armagh have made an arrest in England.
Mr O’Hagan, 51, was shot dead by loyalist paramilitaries as he walked home from a night out with his wife in Lurgan in September 2001.
No-one has ever been successfully prosecuted for his murder.
