Another arrest has been made as part of the investigation into the murder of community worker, Ian Ogle. 

The 45-year-old died after an attack in Cluan Place in east Belfast on January 27th.

The Father-of-two suffered a fractured skull and eleven stab wounds during the attack. 

Police say a 28-year-old was detained on suspicion of murder last night. 

12 people, including ten men and two women, who were previously arrested have been released pending further enquiries. 

Detectives investigating the murder say Mr.Ogle had been involved in an incident on the Beersbridge Road on the night of his murder. 

The killers then made their way to Cluan Place by car where the fatal attack took place. 

The UVF has distanced itself from the murder, but police believe people with connections to the paramilitary organisation may have been involved.
