Gerry Adams has spent a third night in police custody.
Last night, after PSNI detectives were granted a further 48 hours to question the Sinn Féin President about the IRA murder of Jean McConville.
The North’s Deputy First Minister Martin McGuiness is warning that the peace process could be in jeopardy if Gerry Adams is charged.
Gerry Adams is now entering a fourth day in police custody over one of the most notorious killings of the Troubles.
37 year old mother of 10 Jean McConville was abducted shot dead and buried by the IRA in 1972. Her body was discovered on a beach in Co. Louth almost 30 years later.
The Sinn Féin President has always denied any involvement in her killing and his party colleagues say the PSNIÂ’s decision to question him now, with just three weeks to go until local and European elections, is politically motivated.
The North’s Deputy First Minister Martin McGuiness says Mr AdamsÂ’ arrest could undermine the peace process and even went one step further – issuing a stern warning that Sinn Féin could withdraw support for the police in Northern Ireland if Mr Adams is charged.
