A 37-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman were detained in Carrickfergus this morning (Wednesday, August 9).

They have been taken to Musgrave police station in Belfast for questioning.

Two men have already been charged with Mr Gilmore’s murder.

Two months after his death, Mr Gilmore’s friend and fellow loyalist Colin Horner, 35, was shot dead in a supermarket car park in Bangor, a crime also blamed on the UDA.
