by Q Radio News

An ninth suspect has been arrested by detectives investigating the murder of a Belfast community worker.

The 38-year-old is currently being detained at Musgrave Street Crime Suite.

Ian Ogle, 45, was stabbed 11 times by a group of men on Sunday night.

One line of inquiry being pursued by officers investigating the killing is that members of the East Belfast UVF were responsible.

Another arrest saw a 36-year-old man detained. He was taken to Musgrave police station in Belfast city centre for questioning.

A 22-year-old man also remained in police custody on Friday morning.

Six other people arrested in connection with the murder - four men and two women - were all subsequently released on bail pending further inquiries.

Mr Ogle was attacked as he prayed with a pastor on a street near his home in Cluan Place.

More than 1,000 people attended a vigil in his memory on Wednesday, bringing the busy Albertbridge Road to a standstill.

Those attending heard a plea for answers and justice for the Ogle family, but no revenge.
