Two men held over Donegal murder are released

The two men arrested by the PSNI over the loyalist murder of a Sinn Féin councillor across the border in County Donegal 18 years ago were tonight released without charge, RTE News reports.

A 41-year-old man was arrested earlier at Drumahoe near Derry City at the request of the gardaí. A second man aged 45 was arrested a short time later when he presented himself to a police station in County Antrim.
