The PSNI have launched a murder investigation after the death of a 53-year-old man at a flat in east Belfast.
He was found dead with injuries to his head and face in the property on the London Road just before 10 on Saturday morning.
The officer leading the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Geoff Boyce said: "A 25 year old man and a 26 year old woman were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. They remain in custody this afternoon assisting us with our enquiries.
I am appealing for witnesses, or anyone who may have information about this crime, to get in touch with the investigation team by calling 101, quoting reference 347 of 20/01/18.”
Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.
A post mortem is due to be carried out to determine the cause of death.
