Second man arrested in teenage murder hunt
A second man has been arrested by police in connection with the murder of a west Belfast girl.
The arrest comes a day after police were granted a further 12 hour extension to question a man arrested on Tuesday in connection with the murder.
Police who arrested the man were granted the extension to question him further, until 8pm on Wednesday.
Megan McAlorum's body was found on a desolate stretch of land, in an area of forest, half a mile from her Dunmurry home on Monday.
Detective Chief Inspector Raymond Murray said officers were trying to trace Megan's movements before she went missing, specifically on Sunday night.
She was last known to have been in a local pub called the Hunting Lodge. She is then believed to have left at around midnight alone.
Anyone who may have witnessed Megan or knows of her last whereabouts are asked to contact police on 028 9065 0222 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
