Murdered drug dealer Danny McKay

MURDERSQUAD detectives have released a man on Tuesday evening they had been quizzing over the murder of drug dealer Danny McKay.

The 25-year-old man was arrested in Antrim on Tuesday morning by detectives from the PSNI’s Major Investigation Team.

Mr McKay was shot several times as he sat alone on a sofa in the living room of his Longlands Road home in Newtownabbey.  He died at the scene.

Up to four men – including two gunmen – were involved in the attack on the 36-year-old father of one.

A number of people have been arrested since the murder last month but all have been released without charge.
