Police in the North have arrested three people in connection with the murder of Ballymena teenager Michael McIlveen three months ago.

The 15-year-old Catholic schoolboy was beaten to death by a loyalist gang in the Co Antrim town last May.

Police investigating the case today arrested a man and a woman on suspicion of assisting an offender.

A teenage boy is also being questioned on suspicion of conspiring to pervert the course of justice.

Seven people have so far been charged with offences relating to the murder.
