25-year-old held over two murders

No-one has been convicted of the murders

A man has been arrested by police investigating the murders of two young men in County Armagh five years ago.

Andrew Robb, 19, and 18-year-old David McIlwaine, both from Portadown, were stabbed to death on 18 February 2000.

Their bodies were found on the Druminure Road outside Tandragee, a few hours after they had left a disco.

The man, aged 25, was arrested in Coalisland, County Tyrone, on Monday morning. A 54-year-old man arrested on Saturday was released on Sunday.

A report on his arrest will be sent to the Public Prosecution Service.

No-one has been convicted over the killings which were carried out during a loyalist paramilitary feud in the Portadown area.

However, police and both families said neither of the young men had any connection with a paramilitary organisation.
