Man Arrested Over 1994 Double Murder
A man has been arrested over the murder of two Catholic men in Belfast almost 20 years ago.
Gary Convie, 24, and Eamon Fox, 44, were both shot as they sat in a car at a building site in North Queen Street in May 1994. The gunman used a sub-machine gun in the attack.
Both men were builders from Co Armagh and were killed as they ate their lunch in a car which had been parked close to their building site.
One man has already been convicted in connection with the killings, but on Monday morning, police said a second man, who is believed to be 42 years old, was detained in north Belfast on suspicion of the murders. He is also being questioned about the attempted murder of a third man and membership of the UVF.
