A 61-YEAR-OLD man was arrested in England yesterday by detectives investigating the brutal sectarian murder of a civil servant in Derry 10 years ago.
The man was detained in Kent in connection with the death of Paul McCauley and was taken to Belfast for questioning.
Mr McCauley, a Catholic, spent almost a decade in a vegetative state after being assaulted by a gang of up to 15 loyalists while attending a barbecue in the city’s Waterside area in 2006.
He died last June aged 38. The suspect was arrested on Wednesday, with police announcing the development yesterday morning.
Two other men, aged 27 and 28, were detained in Derry on Wednesday. The pair had been arrested last year and were released on police bail but were reinterviewed at Strand Road police station on Wednesday after a court approved their further detention.
The two men remained in custody on Thursday.
A total of 17 people have now been detained over Mr McCauley’s death.
