Detectives investigating the murder of a man in Belfast yesterday morning have arrested a 26 year-old man.

43 year old, Tommy Crossan died after he was shot just off the Springfield Road.

It's understood he used to be a senior figure in the Continuity IRA but was expelled years ago after a fall out.

Officers investigating the shooting arrested a man in West Belfast and he is being questioned at the serious crime suite at Antrim Police Station.

The killing has been condemned by Northern Ireland's First and Deputy First Ministers.
