A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the death of Jonathan Cairns 20 years ago. 

The 18-year-old Ballykelly man was attacked as he made his way home from a night out, in the early hours of 25th April 1999. 

His body was found the following day in a shallow grave in Loughermore Forest. 

The 49-year-old suspect was detained in the Coleraine area earlier today. 

He is also being held on suspicion of withholding information and perverting the course of justice.
