Eugene Carr: Man Released In Hunt For Killers

A man arrested by detectives probing the murder of disabled pensioner Eugene Carr has been released unconditionally.

Mr Carr was brutally murdered while he slept in his Bessbrook home in August 2015. He died in hospital some eleven weeks later.

Earlier this month, his daughters joined with Crimestoppers to offer a £20,000 reward for information that leads to convictions.

A man aged 35 was arrested in Coleraine on suspicion of murder on Thursday 28 November. He was later released unconditionally.
