A 16-year-old youth has been arrested in connection with the murders of two men in Belfast last March.

The body of Edward Burns, 36, - who was shot in the head - was found near the Falls Road and the beaten body of Joe Jones, 38, was discovered in Ardoyne.

Mr Burns was the father of five children, while Mr Jones had three.

At the time, detectives said the killings took place against the backdrop of tension within dissident republicanism.

A PSNI spokesman said the 16-year-old was arrested in west Belfast.
