A teenager was arrested today in a double-murder investigation linked to dissident republicans in Northern Ireland.
The youth (16) was detained in west Belfast by detectives investigating the murders early this year.
Edward Burns (36) and Joseph Jones (38), were found dead hours apart in different areas of Belfast in March.
Burns, from the Ardoyne area of north Belfast, was found shot in the head in a car park off the Falls Road. Jones, from Poleglass on the outskirts of west Belfast, was found battered to death in the Ardoyne.
Police recovered a spade that they believe was used in the murder.
The killings were believed by police to be the result of heightened tensions within splinter republican organisations.
A number of people have been arrested, but no charges have been made.
