Detectives probing a fatal stabbing in County Antrim have named the victim as Niall Magee.

The 21 year old was injured at a house on Cairn Walk in Crumlin in the early hours of Saturday.

He passed away in hospital on Sunday.

Four men aged 19, 24, 25 and 29 were arrested in connection with the police investigation into the death - three of them were later released.

Detective Inspector Michelle Griffin said: "Three of the men have now been released on bail pending further police enquiries whilst the 25 year old man remains assisting us with our enquiries."

She also asked anyone with information on the death to come forward and speak to officers:

"I would continue to appeal to anyone who was in the Cairn Walk area at around 2:50am on Saturday morning and has information which may assist our investigation to contact detectives by calling the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 141 of 27/04/19.

“Alternatively call Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime."
