Detectives investigating the murder of Natalie McNally have arrested a 46-year-old man in Belfast.

McNally was murdered in Lurgan on December 18. The 32-year-old was 15 weeks pregnant at the time.

Today, police arrested the man in the South Belfast area. He has been taken to Musgrave Police Station where he is currently being questioned by detectives.

A 32-year-old man arrested on December 19 was released unconditionally and is no longer a suspect.

A second man detained on December 21, also 32, has been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

Officers investigating the murder seized a car from an address in the Lisburn and Castlereagh area last week.

Detectives have previously said the main line of inquiry was that Ms McNally was killed by someone she knew and was comfortable allowing into her home.
