A man has been arrested by detectives investigating the murder of Sean Fox in west Belfast in October.

The 44-year-old man was arrested in the Lenadoon area on suspicion of terrorism-related offences, and taken to Musgrave serious crime suite.

He was released on Tuesday evening following questioning.

Mr Fox, 42, was murdered at Donegal Celtic Football Club off the Suffolk Road on Sunday October 2.

He was shot in front of more than 100 people.

Later on Tuesday police said they had recovered a quantity of suspected ammunition.

The items were seized earlier during searches in the Lenadoon Avenue area, and are set to be sent for forensic examination.

The PSNI has reiterated its appeal for anyone with information to contact officers on 101.

Crimestoppers have also offered a reward of up to £20,000 for anonymous information it receives that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the murder of Mr Fox.
