Police in Belfast have made another arrest in connection with the abduction and murder of Jean McConville in 1972.

The PSNI says a woman (57) was arrested in West Belfast this morning.

Jean McConville was abducted from her home and murdered in 1972. In 2003, her body was found on a beach in County Louth. She became known as one of the so-called 'Disappeared'.

The mother of 10 was abducted by the IRA at her west Belfast home, shot dead and secretly buried.

She was accused of passing information to the British Army - but those claims were rejected after an investigation by the Police Ombudsman in the North.

One man has already been charged in connection with the investigation and another man has been questioned.
