Former British agent released without charge

A former British agent who was arrested in London last week in connection with two murders in Northern Ireland, has been released without charge.

Kevin Fulton, 46, was arrested by PSNI officers in east London last Wednesday in relation to the murders of Eoin Morley and Ranger Cyril Smith, 21, in County Down in 1990.

Eoin Morley, 23, was shot dead in the Derrybeg area of Newry in 1990, while Ranger Smith was killed while trying to rescue a man who had been forced to drive a car-bomb in to a police checkpoint in Killeen in the outskirts of Newry.

Mr Fulton was taken back to Belfast for questioning in connection with the murders.
