Six released in Gray murder probe
Six people arrested in connection with the murder of former UDA chief Jim Gray have been released by police.
Three men were released without charge early on Saturday, while the fourth man was freed later on. Two women arrested in connection with the murder were released last Thursday.
Gray, 47, was shot dead outside his father's home in east Belfast on Tuesday evening.
Police have confirmed that the involvement of the UDA was still a "major line of inquiry" in the investigation.
Gray's murder brings to an end the life of one of the most 'flamboyant' paramilitary leaders of recent times.
In April the former east Belfast UDA 'brigadier' had his bank accounts frozen after he was charged with possessing and concealing criminal property.
Just two months later, the man dubbed 'Doris Day' because of that flamboyant lifestyle, was refused bail in the High Court over the same incident with fears that he could flee the country if released.
It was while waiting to appear in court again concerning these charges that he was gunned down outside his father's home in the east of the city last week.
