A MAN has been arrested in connection with the murder of a man in Belfast.
Sean Fox was gunned down while he drank in a busy pub on a Sunday afternoon.
The 42-year-old was shot dead while he sat inside the Donegal Celtic Sports and Social Club on the Suffolk Road in west Belfast on October 2, 2022.
