One man has been arrested by PSNI officers investigating the murder of a woman in west Belfast. Her body was found at an address at Erris Grove, off Blacks Road in the city on Saturday.
Results from a postmortem last night revealed the body had stab wounds. The body was found by officers who were alerted to the scene by a telephone call at about lunchtime on Saturday. The victim's name was still not released last night.
Initially, detectives said they were treating the death as suspicious. But their investigations were later upgraded to a murder inquiry. They have appealed for information and asked anyone who saw anything suspicious in the vicinity of the house at around 1.30pm on Saturday to contact them.
The area was cordoned off and an incident room established at the weekend as forensic officers examined the ground floor flat where the woman's body was found.
Police are also investigating a robbery in which a wheelchair-bound 59-year-old woman in Bangor, Co Downwas confronted by two men at her home in Stricklands Bay before 9pm on Saturday.
The men made off with a handbag containing a sum of money.
