The PSNI has arrested a man this morning in relation to witness intimidation. The arrest is related to the reinvestigation of the murder of journalist Martin O'Hagan being carried out by the PSNI's retrospective murder review panel.
According to the PSNI, the man (43) was arrested this morning in Craigavon, Co Armagh, as part of an investigation into the intimidation of a witness and attempts to pervert the course of justice. The man was later released pending reports to the prosecution service.
The Sunday Worldreporter was shot outside his home in Lurgan, Co Armagh, in September 2001. At the time, the Red Hand Commandos, a cover name used by the Loyalist Volunteer Force paramilitary organisation, claimed responsibility for the shooting.
