A 52-year-old man has been arrested in Liverpool by police investigating the murder of Jim Donegan in Belfast in December.

Mr Donegan (43) was shot dead as he waited to collect his 13-year-old son from St Mary's Christian Brothers' Grammar School on Glen Road in the west of the city.

PSNI Detective Chief Inspector Pete Montgomery said “43 year old Jim was brutally murdered as he sat in his car outside a school on the Glen Road in West Belfast on 4 December 2018.

"I would continue to urge anyone who has any information, or who witnessed the murder, to contact the police on 101. Or if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details, they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
