A man wanted in Denmark for serious offences including murder has been arrested in south Belfast.
The 31-year-old is wanted in Denmark to stand trial for offences of murder and possession of a firearm.
The offences occurred in the Aarhus area of Denmark on March 8 2022.
He was detained on Monday on a Danish extradition warrant and is due to appear before Laganside Extradition Court.
A spokesperson from the PSNI’s International Policing Unit said: “Today’s arrest was as a result of an ongoing investigation into a senseless murder that took place in Aarhus, Denmark in March 2022.
“In this case we have worked closely with detectives from the East Jutland Police to locate and arrest this fugitive.
“Our message is clear, Northern Ireland is not a safe haven for any wanted persons trying to avoid arrest and the consequences of their previous actions.
“We will relentlessly pursue all those attempting to evade justice.”
