The PSNI are continuing to question a man (33) in relation to the murder of Kevin McDaid in Coleraine, Co Derry.
A 53-year-old man arrested yesterday has been released on bail pending further investigations.
Father of four Kevin McDaid (49) was attacked and killed by a loyalist mob in near his home last Sunday night.
It emerged yesterday that the Catholic cross-community worker suffered a fatal heart attack while being beaten, a court heard.
The results of a preliminary postmortem were revealed when six men appeared charged with his murder. The six all denied murdering McDaid in Coleraine last Sunday night.
They, and another two men, also denied the attempted murder of Damien Fleming (46), who was critically injured in the attack.
Some of the men were charged with assault, Mr McDaid’s widow was attacked as was a pregnant neighbour.
The accused, aged between 18 and 50, appeared one after the other handcuffed to guards at Ballymena Magistrates’ Court where district judge Philip Mateer was told all denied all charges .
The violence flared when a loyalist mob of up to 40 entered a Catholic area of the town after Rangers beat Celtic to the Scottish Premiership.
All accused were remanded in custody to reappear at Coleraine Magistrates’ Court by video link on June 8th.
