Man arrested in connection with Lisa Dorrien murder

A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of Bangor woman Lisa Dorrien in February.

Lisa, 25, disappeared after attending a party at a caravan site in Ballyhalbert on 28 February, however her body has yet to be found.

Four people arrested by police in connection with their inquiries earlier this year were subsequently released without charge.

In June the family celebrated what would have been Lisa’s 26th birthday.

Loyalist paramilitaries, and in particular the Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF), are thought to have been behind Lisa’s murder, however the LVF have denied any involvement in the killing.

The family has offered a £10,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of her body.
