Funeral takes place of former UDA chief
The funeral of former UDA chief Jim Gray has taken place in Belfast on Tuesday.
Gray, 47, the former UDA 'brigadier' in east Belfast, was shot dead outside his father's home last week.
Tuesday's service took place at his father's home with members of the UDA told to stay away from the house. There was a small cortege and few mourners were in attendance at the graveside.
Six people arrested in connection with the murder inquiry were released at the weekend.
Three men were released without charge early on Saturday, while the fourth man was freed later that day. Two women arrested in connection with the inquiry were released last Thursday.
Police have confirmed that the involvement of the UDA was still a "major line of inquiry" in the investigation.
