Man arrested in Donegal over brutal stab murder of Jennifer Dornan

A MAN has been arrested in Co Donegal over the brutal stab murder of mum of three Jennifer Dornan.

It is understood the PSNI is no longer seeking anyone in the Northern Ireland in connection with the investigation into the murder of the 30-year-old and has stopped its search.

Ms Dornan was found dead in her torched home in west Belfast in the early hours of last Sunday morning.

The killer stabbed her through the chest with a 14 inch kitchen knife and then set fire to her home in a bid to destroy forensic clues.

A 37-year-old man has been arrested following contact between the gardaí and PSNI detectives investigating the murder.

In a statement, the PSNI said the man was detained in Co Donegal on an unrelated matter yesterday evening, Friday, August 7.
