Local residents are in shock and the area is currently cordoned off with PSNI investigations ongoing.

I have spoken with the police and been briefed about their lines of inquiry. A forty-five year old is dead and another man of the same age is in custody concerning the death.

I would encourage anyone who has any information to come forward and report it to the PSNI on 101.
