The RUC was still questioning people last night about the murder of Protestant construction worker, Stuart Hunter (24), in Larne whose body was found near his home on Friday. Officers were trying to establish a motive for the murder and could not say if it was sectarian.

Mr Hunter's body was found close to his home at Ballymullock Road. He had been out drinking with friends and was probably killed as he was returning home.
