Two men were arrested today for questioning about the murder of a loyalist who was shot dead in Belfast last week.
The men were detained by detectives investigating the murder of Jameson Lockhart (25), who was gunned down in East Belfast outside a bar that was being demolished and used to belong to ousted Ulster Defence Association boss Jim Gray.
Mr Lockhart, from Flush Road in the Ballysillan area of north Belfast, is believed to have had links to the Loyalist Volunteer Force, and the rival Ulster Volunteer Force was suspected by police of shooting him.
Detectives said after the killing on Friday that a loyalist feud could not be ruled out.
Mr Lockhart and another man were sitting in a lorry outside the bar on the Newtownards Road when a gunman approached and opened fire.
The other man managed to jump out and run off and Mr Lockhart got the lorry moving before crashing into a lamp-post beside a loyalist mural. The gunman moved in again and opened fire, killing him.
