A man in his 50s who was arrested in the Dundalk area on 4 September over the murder of south Armagh man Paul Quinn has been released without charge.

Mr Quinn was beaten to death at farm buildings near Castleblayney in County Monaghan last October.

Eleven people have been held by Gardaí and the PSNI investigating his death.

His family said the IRA killed the 21-year-old after he had defied an order to leave the country. Sinn Fein denies any republican involvement.
