Two men were being questioned by PSNI detectives on Wednesday night about the murder of 33-year-old Donald Fraser-Rennie in a flat in the Crebilly Road area of Ballymena, Co Antrim.

Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell said Mr Fraser-Rennie died after a "vicious, sustained and violent beating".

Two men, aged 29 and 33 years old, who were arrested on suspicion of murder, remained in police custody last night.
