A man held by police investigating the murder of Belfast schoolboy Thomas Devlin has been freed without charge.

Thomas, aged 15, was stabbed in the back five times as he and two friends walked home along the Somerton Road, on 10 August after buying sweets.

Police have confirmed a man arrested on Saturday in connection with the murder has been released after questioning.

Detectives staged a reconstruction of Thomas' final movements on Wednesday night, just hours after his funeral.

Thomas' 18-year-old friend was injured in the attack, but not seriously. A 16-year-old boy managed to escape.

Thomas, a student at Belfast Royal Academy, was a talented musician who played the horn at school.

Last weekend, three people arrested in connection with the murder were also released without charge.
