Three men have been arrested in connection with the murder of police officer John Haggan 30 years ago.

Constable Haggan, 33, who was known as Jackie, was shot while out with his wife and friends at Dunmore Greyhound Stadium in Alexandra Park Avenue in Belfast on 10 March 1994.

The men have been arrested at addresses in Belfast and the Newtownabbey area on suspicion of murder and membership of a proscribed organisation.

They are all in their 50s.

They have been taken to Antrim Police Station for questioning.

Earlier in April, another man was arrested and released following questioning.
