Two men have been arrested following the murder of Danny McClean in North Belfast.

The men, aged 46 and 39, were both arrested on Thursday, the PSNI say.

Both men remain in police custody for questioning.

The North Belfast community was left in shock on February 2 after the 54-year-old was shot dead.    

Police said the killer emerged from Clifton Crescent and onto the Cliftonville Road where he shot Mr McClean dead as he sat in a red Audi Q2.

The PSNI previously said they had found a number of spent shells at the scene of Mr McClean’s murder which are being forensically examined for clues.

In a statement released on Thursday, a police spokesperson said: "Detectives investigating the murder of Danny McClean in North Belfast on Tuesday, 2 February have arrested two men aged 46 and 39.

"Both men have been taken to Musgrave PSNI Station for questioning."
