He has been released on bail until early July.
The leading Detective Chief Inspector Paul Considine said “Although we have made arrests, the Volvo remains a very important appeal point for us.
“It was found abandoned the morning after Samson was shot.
When it was discovered by police, it was bearing a false registration plate and therefore, in the days and weeks beforehand, may have been displaying different plates.
“The car is a large estate vehicle and had some distinguishing features – there were scuff marks to both corners of the front bumper and the front passenger door mirror was held on with tape.
“I am very keen to hear from anyone who thinks they have seen this Volvo or knows who drives it. My officers and I need to hear from you if you have any information about this car, no matter how insignificant you may think it to be, your information could be key to our investigation.
“Equally, I am keen to hear from anyone that witnessed the shooting in Brackenfield Close on Friday night, or anyone that has any other information that might assist the investigation.
