Detectives hunting the killers of Belfast schoolboy Thomas Devlin carried out new searches in a loyalist housing estate today.
Officers returned to Mount Vernon, where much of their inquiry has centred since the 15-year-old Catholic was stabbed to death in August 2005. They searched a property in the Ross House complex.
During an earlier search at Ross House police brought in a sniffer dog after the discovery of a knife nearby. The weapon has since undergone forensic tests.
Despite making 12 arrests so far, police have yet to charge anyone with Thomas's murder.
