Dungannon murder investigation: two more people arrested following 'senseless attack'
Detectives from the PSNI’s Major Investigation Team investigating the murder of a pensioner in Dungannon have made two more arrests.
Detective Chief Inspector Kerrie Foreman said: “Last night, Sunday, March 2, we arrested a 33-year-old man on suspicion of murder, while a 27-year-old woman was also arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. They both remain in custody as enquiries continue."
Two men, both aged 30, were also arrested over the weekend in connection with the murder and remain in custody at this time while enquiries continue.
The arrests come after a man in his 70s was found with serious injuries on the living room floor of a flat in the Lisnahull area on Thursday, February 27.
Police received a report of the serious assault in Corrainey Park at around 8pm.
Officers attended, alongside colleagues from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service who provided medical treatment at the scene.
The victim was pronounced deceased a short time afterwards.
Det Chief Insp Foreman added: "We continue to investigate this senseless attack, and would reiterate our appeal to anyone who believes they may have information that could assist us with our investigation to contact 101 quoting reference number 1576 27/02/25.”
