Man (32) arrested over murder of delivery driver in Belfast

A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a takeaway delivery driver in west Belfast, police said.

Dan Murray, a 55-year-old father-of-six, was shot in his car a week ago.

Mr Murray, who was known to police and had survived a previous murder bid, was lured to the area by a bogus food order.

He had been dispatched in his black Ford Focus to deliver food to a house in the street but the order was actually called in from a phone box nearby at the junction of the Antrim Road and Cliftonville Road.

The killing was the fourth gun attack in the city in four days.

The suspect (32) was arrested in Belfast on Monday night and is being questioned at a police station in the city.

Mr Murray’s funeral was held yesterday.
