Man questioned in relation to Rosemary Nelson’s murder
Officers investigating the murder of Lurgan solicitor Rosemary Nelson have arrested a man in County Armagh.
The 41-year-old man was taken from his home in Portadown for questioning about serious terrorist offences on Monday December 3.
Rosemary Nelson, a Catholic mother-of-three, died in a booby-trap car bomb near her home on 15 March 1999.
A splinter loyalist group, the Red Hand Defenders, admitted responsibility for the murder.
The Red Hand Defenders is a cover name, which has been used in the past by the Ulster Defence Association and Loyalist Volunteer Force.
A team headed by Norfolk Deputy Chief Constable Colin Port is carrying out an investigation into Mrs Nelson’s death, but despite several arrests, no one as yet has been charged with her murder.
The investigation was set up following allegations of security force collusion in the killing of Mrs Nelson because of her role as the legal representative for the nationalist Garvaghy Road Residents’ Coalition and other high profile cases. (AMcE)
