Two people arrested over belfast murder of kevin mcguigan

Two people have been arrested in relation to the murder of former Provisional IRA member Kevin McGuigan. The 53 year old - who was a suspect in the murder of Gerard "Jock" Davison in May - was shot dead at his home on Wednesday night. Police have arrested a 44 year old man and a 39 year old woman as part of the investigation. Alan Murray is a Belfast-based security correspondent. "A week ago a group calling itself Action Against Drugs said that it would execute those involved in the "Jock" Davison murder" he said. "It said it was a group which was made up of former provisionals and people who had been involved in direct action against drugs - which "Jock" Davison was involved in many, many years ago after the ceasefires, which went about shooting dead drug dealers" he added.
