PSNI continue investigations into Devlin murder
Detectives investigating the murder of Belfast schoolboy Thomas Devlin have re-entered an area in North Belfast to carry out further investigations.
On Tuesday, police searched the loyalist Mount Vernon estate and removed several items for forensic examination.
Police have today returned to the district where they will be carrying out searches in vacant flats.
Thomas Devlin, 15, was murdered close to his home in North Belfast last August after going to a local shop to buy sweets.
He was stabbed five times in the attack, which happened on the Somerton Road area of the city.
A sectarian motive is one of many being considered by police.
Detectives had said that two young men, who were seen with a black and white dog, are key suspects in their inquiry.
Despite a number of people having been questioned about the murder, no one has ever been charged.
