Mr Ogle, 45, died after being stabbed 11 times as he prayed with a pastor just yards from his home on Cluan Place in east Belfast last Sunday.
There has been speculation that people associated with the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) were responsible for the killing.
Detective Superintendent Jason Murphy confirmed during a press conference last week that one line of inquiry was that members of the East Belfast UVF were responsible.
More than 1,000 mourners lined the streets of east Belfast on Monday during Mr Ogle’s funeral.
On Monday, the PSNI said they had arrested 11 people to date in the murder inquiry – nine men and two women.
Two men, aged 40 and 37, were released on Monday evening pending further inquiries.
