"Significant development" in Smith's Wood murder inquiry

POLICE investigating a murder in Smith's Wood last month confirmed today that a man had been arrested.
A 24-year-old was detained at an address on the estate last night (Wednesday) and was today in custody and due to be questioned.
The news comes almost three weeks after Leneto Kellengbeck, also 24, suffered fatal wounds outside his Arran Way home.
Last week, loved ones and detectives had made a fresh plea for information about the events of March 29.
Det Insp Jim Colclough, from the force’s homicide team, said: "This arrest is a significant development in our investigation.
"Only last week Leneto’s family bravely spoke about the devastating impact his death has had on them.
"We are determined to get them the answers they so desperately need and we’re committed to bring his killer or killers to justice."
Anyone with information can call officers on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
