POLICE IN NORTHERN Ireland have arrested a 53-year-old man on suspicion of murdering Caroline Graham 25 years ago.
The 19-year-old Newry woman went missing in April 1989, a time when she was living with her boyfriend in Hanover Street in Portadown.
The PSNI have ramped up the investigation into her presumed death over the past four months, with a number of searches and arrests.
The 53-year-old arrested today was also detained on suspicion of possession of a firearm. He was arrested in Antrim and is being questioned at the Serious Crime Suite.
Earlier this week, specialist forensic scientists were called in to help with the investigation as police examined items at a house on Hanover Street.
As a result of indications by victim recovery dogs, the scientists were drafted in.
According Detective Chief Inspector Peter Montgomery, the key to recovering Caroline’s remains “lies with a small group of local people” because whoever was responsible for her murder may have spoken to people.
In June, a 76-year-old woman was arrested but subsequently released as part of the fresh probe.

Where we’re the dogs twenty five years ago. Love the new technology!!
Great work. The dogs boots are so cute.
Two things that matters here, one This girls family may be able to get on with their own lives now and the guy they have arrested if guilty must cock sure down through the years he had gotten away with it full marks to the police service of NI for getting him.
“POLICE IN NORTHERN Ireland”
could so easily be “police in Antrim”
Except it is in Co. Armagh.
Christ, life must be such an ordeal for you!!!
” He was arrested in Antrim” duh……………..
all the red thumbs from those who didnt read the article
The arrest was made in Co. Antrim not that it matters, more important is that someone may have been caught for murdering a 19 year old girl who had her whole life in front of her
i don’t like partitionists
How about the POLICE SERVICE OF NORTHERN IRELAND have arrested?
Jesus, you’ve little to be worried about. What I took from the article was, the mystery surrounding a girl who’s been missing for 25 years might actually be finally solved and the b@&*tard who’s responsible might have to pay for it.
But politics is obviously more important.
the journal brought the politics into it with the first line of the story.
propaganda has to be challenged
That’s the brains of Dundalk for you. Hasn’t yet realised that partition is a permanent reality despite the north being one of the most pointless countries on earth.
have your say
