Police in Northern Ireland investigating the hit-and-run road death of a Co Antrim cyclist have arrested a man.

He is being quizzed by detectives after Seamus Graffin (58), died following a collision with an Audi on the Randalstown Road in Antrim on St Stephen's Day.

The Audi was later found abandoned. Another four men arrested over the incident have since been released.

Police revisited the scene on Tuesday and staged a reconstruction in an appeal for further information.

They want to speak to anybody who saw the white Audi on Boxing Day.

Mr Graffin was from the Oriel Road in Antrim.
