Police have released two men being held over the murder of Coleraine father-of-four Kevin McDaid, (pictured here) and the attempted murder of Damian Fleming.
The men, aged 43 and 37, were arrested by officers yesterday. They have now been freed, pending further inquiries. Forty-nine year old Mr McDaid was beaten to death near his home on the nationalist Heights area last month.
He was killed by a loyalist mob, which also set upon Mr Fleming, leaving him critically injured.
Police have said the attack was sectarian. Mr McDaid, a catholic, was a local community worker.
