Gavin Brett, an 18-year-old Protestant, was shot dead outside a Glengormley GAA club in 29 July 2001.

Gary Thomas Moore, a 30-year-old Catholic builder, was fatally shot while he worked in Monkstown, Newtownabbey on 6 December 2000.

A 32-year-old man was arrested in England on Wednesday morning by detectives from PSNI Serious Crime Branch assisted by officers from West Midlands Police.

He was taken to a police station in England and has since been released unconditionally.

I remember being in primary school, a young kid and just walking out and missing this by seconds, shocking!, my thoughts are with his family, being a protestant and from this area sickens me to this day that this happened. R.I.P to the both of them.

I remember hearing about both these senseless sectarian murders at the time in my local area. If I remember correctly Gavin Brett's father was a medic and arrived on scene after hearing the shots and tried to save his son without success, how very sad... I hope both cases are solved soon and the culprits brought to justice.
