A man arrested in the west Midlands for questioning about two loyalist paramilitary killings in Northern Ireland has been released unconditionally.
PSNI officers were also involved in the operation to arrest the 32-year-old man on Wednesday morning.
He was questioned about the separate murders of Gavin Brett, 18, shot dead in north Belfast in July 2001 and labourer Gary Moore, 30, gunned down by the UDA at a building site, also north Belfast, the previous December.
Mr Brett, a Protestant student, was shot dead by the UDA on the Hightown Road in Glengormley, Co Antrim near his home as he stood chatting to a group of Catholic and Protestant friends close to the entrance to St Enda’s Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club. His paramedic father tried to resuscitate his son but he died at the scene.
Mr Moore, a Catholic builder, was shot four times in the head and body as he worked on a house in the Monkstown estate in Newtownabbey. He was from Dungiven in Co Londonderry.
