A man has been arrested in County Cavan over the murder of an army recruiting sergeant in Derby 17 years ago.

Michael Newman was shot and killed as he walked to his car in the city centre in April 1992.

The Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) later claimed responsibility for the killing.

British authorities are seeking the extradition of Anthony Patrick Gorman, 39, who was reportedly arrested at a factory at Shercock on Tuesday.

In 2004, another man - Joseph Magee - was sentenced to 25 years at Nottingham Crown Court for Sgt Newman's murder, but was later released under the terms of the Good Friday agreement.

Sgt Newman's fiancee Liz Robinson told the BBC she was informed of the arrest on Wednesday, but declined to comment further.
