Kevin McDaid
Another man has been arrested in connection with the murder of Kevin McDaid in Coleraine and the attempted murder of Damien Fleming.

The man, 34, was detained in Coleraine, Co Londonderry, for questioning about the murder of 49-year-old Kevin McDaid, who was beaten to death by a loyalist mob.

He was also being questioned about the critical injury of another man, 46-year-old Damien Fleming, who was hurt during the same disturbances.

A 41-year-old man arrested on Tuesday was released on police bail on Tuesday night pending further inquiries.

Nine men have been charged in connection with the killing and the attempted murder of Damien Fleming.

Several other people have been charged with assaulting Mrs McDaid and a pregnant woman the crowd turned on when they tried to intervene to save Mr McDaid from his attackers.
