Two men questioned about 'Body in Bog' case
Police have arrested two men for questioning about the murder of David Sullivan.
The two men aged 23 and 24 have been arrested in connection with the disappearance in August 1998 of 51-year-old David Sullivan whose body was discovered in a bog near Belcoo in County Fermanagh.
Forensic tests revealed that body of Mr Sullivan, which was found in February 2000, could have been in the remote Boho Bog for up to 18 months.
Mr Sullivan, described as a frail man had suffered from Parkinson's disease, had been missing from his home in Enniskillen since 26 August 1998.
This year police with forensic and other specialist investigators spent several days at the site where the body was discovered in an effort to find further evidence at the scene. At that time police said they were following a definite line of inquiry.
Last week, a 22-year-old man was charged with withholding information and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
