Irish man, 22, arrested for murder in Spain
The suspect now faces being extradited from Northern Ireland to Spain to stand trial
A 22-year-old man was arrested in Northern Ireland on Friday February 23 in connection with a murder investigation in Spain. The arrest was made by officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland's (PSNI) international policing unit, who executed an extradition warrant issued by Spanish authorities.
According to Sergeant Davey from the International Policing Unit, officers from Lurgan Local Policing Team collaborated with the National Crime Agency and Spanish authorities to locate the suspect at an address in the Craigavon area. The individual is expected to appear before an extradition court in Belfast in the coming days.
“This arrest is a good example of how our local policing teams are able to identify and arrest those wanted internationally,” Sergent Davey added.
“PSNI will continue to work with our international partners to locate and arrest those sought for extradition.”
No further details have been released at this time. The investigation remains ongoing, and it is not clear whether the accused has any connections to the victim or the events surrounding the murder.
