A MAN HAS been arrested in connection with the murder of prominent loyalist John Boreland on Sunday evening.
The 42-year-old man was arrested late last night in north Belfast.
He is being held for questioning at Musgrave Police Station.
46-year-old Boreland was gunned down while getting into his car at Sunningdale Gardens in the city just before 10pm on Sunday.
Police believe that a shotgun was used in the attack. Boreland was shot at close range a number of times.
The PSNI have appealed for calm in the city in the wake of the murder.
The shooting is believed to relate to an ongoing loyalist power struggle.

Ah ffs dont be arresting them. Let them slaughter each other for the good people of ireland
I assume you’ll be equally blasé about it if one of your loved ones is among the innocent killed or maimed as “collateral damage” when those thugs are attacking each other.
two young lads were shot dead by mistake in the west belfast brigade feud not so long ago
Fintan i dont wish any innocent person is killed in the crossfire but the people of Ulster would be better off without these drug pushing loyalist B@stards
Are they in Donegal Cavan and Monaghan now. Ulster has 9 counties ya numpty.
So are the other 6 counties not part of ulster ya bleedin gobsheen
Was this lad also here on his extended holidays?
Will Enda Kenny and Rte be calling out the unionist politicians and collapsing Stormont like they do to Sinn Fein anytime the dissident IRA act up?
Sounds like a lovely fella. Such a lost to society
One less bigot in the north
