A man is being questioned about the murder of a pensioner in Co Antrim nearly 20 years ago.

66-year-old Lily Smith was strangled at her home in Belfast in October 1988.

Her body was discovered at the flat in Moveen House, Dunmurry, on the western outskirts of the city.

No one was ever charged with the killing.

This morning a 43-year-old man was arrested at a house in a Co Antrim village.

He is being questioned by the PSNI.
