Talented journalist Lyra McKee shot dead in Derry on Thursday

DETECTIVES from the PSNI’s Major Investigation Team have arrested a 57-year-old woman under the Terrorism Act in connection with the murder of Lyra McKee in Creggan in Derry on Thursday, 18th April.

She has been taken to Musgrave Serious Crime Suite in Belfast for questioning.

It brings to three the number of people arrested so far over her murder.

Two teenagers – aged 18 and 19 – were arrested last Saturday in Derry.

They were later released unconditionally on Sunday.

The 29-year-old journalist was died after she sustained a gunshot wound to head after a masked gunman fired shots at an armoured police landrover.

Her funeral will take place on Wednesday, April 24, at St Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast
