Detectives in the North are questioning a man and a woman about the abduction and murder of a father of two in County Armagh at the weekend.
The pair were arrested by officers investigating the killing of Paul Crymble who was attacked by four masked men who confronted him and his wife when they returned to their home in Richhill, Co Armagh, early yesterday.
The couple were tied up as the gang, one armed with a gun, demanded money. Mr Crymble was then bundled into the family car, a green Seat Ibiza, and driven from his Ballybreagh Road bungalow.
His body was later spotted by a member of the public inside the vehicle parked at a lay-by two miles away. Police have said there was nothing to suggest a paramilitary or sectarian link to the killing.
The murder baffled detectives, who were told how the victim was a quiet, hard-working husband and father of a girl aged 12 and an eight-year-old boy. It is believed police are examining claims that he may have ran up heavy debts.
Mr Crymble and his family only moved to Armagh from Carrickfergus, Co Antrim, just over a year ago.
A Police Service of Northern Ireland spokesman confirmed: "Detectives investigating the death of Paul Crymble have arrested one male and one female on suspicion of murder."
