A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of Jim Donegan in west Belfast.

The 52 year-old was detained in Liverpool earlier.

Mr Donegan was shot dead on the Glen Road in December while waiting to pick his son up from school.

The suspect is currently in police custody.

Detective Chief Inspector Pete Montgomery said “43 year old Jim was brutally murdered as he sat in his car outside a school on the Glen Road in West Belfast on 4 December 2018.

I would continue to urge anyone who has any information, or who witnessed the murder, to contact the police on 101.

Or if someone would prefer to provide information without giving their details, they can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers and speak to them anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
