POLICE IN FERMANAGH are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a 51-year-old woman and a 55-year-old man.

The two bodies were found at a house in the Abbey Road area of Lisnaskea in Fermanagh yesterday afternoon. Detectives are still at the scene.

While enquiries are still at an early stage, the police are currently treating the death of the woman as murder.

A man in his 30s was in the house at the time of the incident. He suffered stab wounds to his abdomen and his injuries are being treated as attempted murder.

He is in a stable condition in hospital.
