Two arrested in Belfast murder investigation

A murder investigation has been launched after a man’s body was found in north Belfast.

He was discovered just before 3am this morning in a flat in Ardoyne Place.

Two men have been arrested, a PSNI spokesman said.

The force appealed for anybody with information to contact them.

Belfast Sinn Féin MLA Carál Ní Chuilín said the death had shocked the local community.
