A man and a woman arrested in connection with the six murders at Loughinisland in Co Down in June 1994 were released without charge last night.

The 45-year-old man and 38-year-old woman were detained by the PSNI yesterday morning in connection with the shooting in a pub on the night the Republic of Ireland beat Italy in the World Cup at the Giants Stadium in New York.

Six men died and five other people were injured in the attack.

Families of the victims have protested to Northern Ireland Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan about the lack of progress in the investigation.
