Two Arrested In Donaldson Murder Case
Gardai investigating the murder of Denis Donaldson in April 2006 have arrested two men.
A 70-year-old man and a second man in his 30s, were arrested last night in connection with the murder.
Donaldson, a member of Sinn Féin, was gunned down at his remote home at Cloghercor, Doochary, Co. Donegal.
In December 2005 he was exposed as an informer in the employment of MI5 and the Special Branch of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (formerly the Royal Ulster Constabulary).
It was initially believed that the Provisional IRA were responsible for his killing although the Real IRA claimed responsibility for his murder almost three years later.
The two men arrested are currently detained at Letterkenny Garda Station under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.
The investigation is ongoing.
