Suspect in murder case released
One of the two male youths who were arrested in connection with the murder of Ian Samuel Flanagan in south Belfast at the weekend has been released.
Police say that the youth has been released "pending further inquiries".
Thirty-year-old Ian Flanagan, of Donegall Avenue in Belfast, was found murdered near playing fields in south Belfast on Sunday. He was originally from Keady in Co Armagh.
His body was found at 8am on Sunday morning behind a hockey pitch close to Queen's playing fields. Police have revealed that the victim had suffered massive head injuries. The man leading the investigation, Detective Superintendent Roy Suitters, said it was a "truly horrific crime".
The first arrest followed a series of planned searches in Newtownbreda late on Sunday night, and a second arrest was made yesterday morning.
Mr Flanagan was last seen leaving his home at teatime on Saturday evening. Detectives had been hopeful that guests and staff attending a function in the nearby Malone House may have information relating to the crime.
Police would like to hear from anyone who could help establish Mr Flanagan's movements to contact them on 028 9065 0222.
