Detectives from the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s Major Investigation Team have launched a murder inquiry following the death of a man in Mountnorris.
Commenting, Detective Chief Inspector Gary Robinson said: “Police received a report at approximately 11.30am on Thursday morning, 4th September of a concern for safety at a property in the Cusher Green area.
