Two men have been arrested by detectives investigating the murder of journalist Lyra McKee.

The 29-year-old was shot dead in April 2019 in Derry/Londonderry as she observed rioting in the Creggan estate.

The suspects, aged 24 and 29, were detained in the city this morning under the Terrorism Act.

They have been taken to the Serious Crime Suite at Musgrave Police Station where they will be interviewed later.

Three men have already been charged with Lyra's murder, while another two men have been charged with rioting and associated offences.
