Man released, three people remain in custody after murder

A 33-year-old man, arrested on suspicion of the murder of a man in Dungannon last week, has been released on bail pending further enquiries.

The victim, aged in his 70s, was found with serious injuries following an assault at a flat in the Corrainey Park area last Thursday evening.

Emergency services were sent to the incident in the Lisnahull Estate but the man died at the scene.

Two men aged in their 30s, and a 27-year-old woman, who were also arrested over the weekend in connection with the murder, remain in custody.

On Friday, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) confirmed they were treating the man’s death as murder.

Supt Peter Stevenson said the victim “was found seriously injured on the living room floor of the property”.

Later that evening, more than 100 people attended a vigil close to the block of flats where the man lived.
