Three men have been arrested in connection with the murder of Andrew Burns in Donegal over a week ago.
The men - aged 18, 33 and 42 - were arrested in the Strabane area of Co Tyrone earlier this morning. They are being questioned by PSNI officers in Antrim.
Mr Burns (27), a painter and decorator, was found on February 12th with two bullet wounds to his abdomen near St Columba's church in the village of Doneyloop, Co Donegal.
It is thought he was abducted in Strabane an hour earlier.
The Real IRA has denied involvement in his killing, but the INLA, another republican faction, has claimed his death is linked to a group called Óglaigh na hÉireann.
The PSNI and gardaí are investigating the killing.
