Three men have been arrested in Strabane this morning in connection with the investigation into the murder of Andrew Burns outside Doneyloop Church in Donegal last week.
The 27 year-old was shot dead outside the church close to the border between Tyrone and Donegal shortly after being abducted from Strabane town centre.

The PSNI said three men aged 18, 33, and 42 have been arrested in the Strabane area in connection with the murder investigation and have been taken to the serious crime suite at Antrim PSNI station.

Both the PSNI and the Gardaí have said they have not yet established a motive for the 27 year-old's murder but dissident republicans have been blamed. The Real IRA and the INLA have denied involvement in the killing.
