Trio arrested over PSNI officer's murder

THREE people have been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of Constable Stephen Carroll.

The 48-year-old PSNI officer was gunned down as he responded to a routine call in Craigavon last March.

A police spokesperson confirmed a 40-year-old man was arrested in Lurgan and a 36-year-old man and 37-year-old woman in Craigavon on Tuesday morning.

Dissident republicans claimed responsibility for the murder - the first PSNI officer to be killed in the line of duty as a result of terrorism.

The shooting came only days after the double murder of two soldiers in Antrim.

Three people have already been charged in relation with Constable Carroll's death.
