A 33-year-old man was arrested today by police investigating the murder of leading UDA man Tommy English over eight years ago.
The man was detained in north Belfast by members of the Historical Enquiries Team who also carried out a series of searches in the area, said a police spokesman.
Mr English, 40, was gunned down at his home in the Ballyduff Estate at Newtownabbey in October 2000.
He had been part of a loyalist delegation which attended Stormont talks ahead of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.
A total of 15 people have been arrested by the HET in recent months during the reinvestigation of the murder and 11 have so far been charged.
