Detectives investigating the murder of journalist Lyra McKee have arrested four men in Londonderry.
The four men, aged 20, 27, 29 and 52, were arrested under the Terrorism Act on Tuesday.
Ms McKee, 29, was shot while observing rioting in Derry’s Creggan estate on 18 April last year.
The New IRA has admitted carrying out her murder. Police have again appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
PSNI Det Supt Jason Murphy said he believes “that some people within the community know what happened and who was involved.”
He added: “I understand that people may be frightened to talk to us. I have previously given my personal assurance relating to anonymity for the purpose of this investigation and I renew this assurance today, as we approach the anniversary of Lyra’s murder.”
