Man arrested in relation to Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe’s murder

A man in his 30s has been arrested in connection with the capital murder of garda Adrian Donohoe in 2013.

In a statement, gardaí said the man was arrested in the Dundalk area at around 8.30am this morning and is being held at Dundalk garda station under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act 2007.

Detective Garda Donohoe was shot dead outside the Lordship Credit Union eight years ago.

The arrest is a major development in the case and follows the conviction of Aaron Brady (30) for capital murder last year.

Brady, from Armagh, was convicted following the longest murder trial in the history of the State. He was sentenced to a minimum term of 40-years.
