Man Arrested In Jean McConville Investigation
56-year-old man has been arrested by detectives investigating the abduction and murder of Jean McConville in 1972.
The man presented himself to police on Wednesday morning. He is being questioned at Antrim police station. The move follows his arrest last month, which was delayed due to a medical issue.
37-year-old Jean McConville was a mother of ten who was abducted from her flat in the Divis area of west Belfast and shot by the IRA. Her body was only discovered in 2003 on a beach in County Louth.
The arrest follows the four-day police detention and questioning of Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams, who was released on Sunday. Mr Adams has always denied any involvement in the abduction and murder.

ISG Secures Largest Hotel Project

The scheme encompasses upgrading guest rooms, suites and ski chalets, meeting rooms, gym and spa facilities, as well as the refurbishment of the external façade of the building.
Additionally, ISG's overseas businesses continue to win retail and hospitality projects. In the last two months the company has secured a further project with luxury brand Louis Vuitton to enlarge the retailer's existing store on Avenue Montaigne in Paris, as well as a project for Nike in La Defense. ISG has also secured projects with lifestyle brand Abercrombie & Fitch in Chengdu, China, the refurbishment of the facade of Main Street, USA at Hong Kong Disneyland and a scheme in Malaysia at the Four Points Hotel.
David Lawther, ISG Chief Executive, said: "Our growing international reputation, diversified service offer and larger project capability makes ISG well positioned to take advantage of recovering overseas markets, especially in the hospitality and retail sectors. Securing a Queen’s Award for International Trade is an independent validation of our achievements to seek sustainable growth from overseas markets and further diversify our business."
