Man Arrested In Connection With Paul McCauley Murder

A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of Paul McCauley in L'Derry in 2006.

He has been taken to Omagh police station to be questioned.

One man has been charged with the murder and another male has been reported to the Public Prosecution Service (PPS).

Mr McCauley, 38, died in a care facility almost nine years after an attack in July 2006. He was attending a summer BBQ at the rear of a house in Chapel Road on 15 July 2006. At 3.20am on 16 July, only three people remained at the BBQ. A group of up to 15 people came from out of the bushes and attacked Paul and two of his friends.

He died from his injuries in August this year.
