Version 0 of 1.

Police investigating the murder of a man in north Belfast last Saturday have arrested a 39-year-old man.

The body of Polish national Piotr Rafacz, 29, was found in his Cliftonville Road flat.

The man was arrested on Friday and is being questioned at Antrim Police Station.

Mr Rafacz's wife appeared in court on Thursday charged with his murder. Her brother was accused of assisting her by moving his body.

Both were remanded in custody ahead of a further hearing next week.

Mr Rafacz was the third man from the Polish community to have been murdered in Northern Ireland in just over a month.

Twenty-six-year-old Kzrysztof Zlotnicki was killed in Newtownards on 16 June and 40-year-old Marek Muszynski in Newry on 7 July.
