By Claudia Savage, Press Association
A woman in her 60s has been arrested in relation to the murder of a man in Co Donegal nearly 20 years ago.
Andrew Burns, 27, was murdered at Donnyloop in Castlefin on February 12th, 2008.
He received a number of gunshot wounds and was later found on a road close to Donnyloop Church. He was pronounced dead shortly before 8pm.
One person has been convicted of his murder and is serving a life sentence, but gardaí have previously said they believe that a number of people were involved.
On Thursday evening, Gardaí arrested a woman in her 60s as part of their investigation into Mr Burns’ murder.
She is being detained at a garda station in the North-West.
Gardaí continue to appeal to anyone with any information to come forward, in particular, the occupant or occupants of a red van that it is believed to have been in the Donnyloop area at around 7pm on the evening Mr Burns was murdered.
