Funeral Date Set For Murdered Prison Officer

The funeral for murdered Northern Ireland prison officer David Black will take place on Tuesday.

Mr Black was shot on Thursday during a high-speed ambush on a motorway, as he drove to work at Maghaberry high-security prison near Lisburn.

His funeral will take place at Molesworth Presbyterian Church in Cookstown, a church which Mr Black had attended regularly.

Prominent dissident republican Colin Duffy, was detained in County Armagh, in connection with the killing.

He was arrested with another man on Friday morning and later a 29-year-old suspect was detained in the Irish Republic.

All three remain in custody for questioning.

Mr Black's killing has been condemned across Britain and Ireland, while US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denounced it as a "outrageous and cowardly act".

Detectives investigating the crime want people with information to come forward.

"Condemnation, however strident, is not enough. It needs to be translated into information if our investigation is to make maximum progress," said Superintendent Keith Agnew

The 52-year-old prison officer was killed when a car with Dublin licence plates pulled up alongside his on the M1 motorway in Northern Ireland and opened fire.

His car veered into a deep ditch and he died at the scene.

The father-of-two had been planning to take early retirement next year.

Mr Black's widow, Yvonne, has made repeated calls for there to be no retaliation for her husband's death.
