Property searched in murder probe

Police have been searching in the Mount Vernon area Several items have been removed from a house in north Belfast by police investigating the murder of schoolboy Thomas Devlin.

Thomas, 15, was stabbed to death close to his home in August 2005. Police believe his killers come from the Mount Vernon area.

A property in the area was searched on Monday and several items are to undergo forensic tests.

It was the second search in two months at the Ross House complex.

Last month, police used a sniffer dog to search a flat there.

That search took place after a knife was discovered behind a church mission hall on the estate.

That knife has undergone forensic tests.
