Two questioned by police about doorstep stabbing

Police have confirmed that two people arrested in the Tullycarnet area are being questioned about the murder of a man on his own doorstep in east Belfast last year.

Forty-six-year-old Arthur Berryman was stabbed to death when he opened the front door of his house off the Woodstock Road in Belfast.

Mr Berryman was stabbed several times and his wife was injured when a knife-wielding man forced his way into the couple's home on October 31 2001.

Police said that the man and woman were arrested on Tuesday in the Tullycarnet estate near Dundonald in east Belfast.
