Manslaughter
Yesterday, detectives from the PSNI Major Investigation Team arrested two men aged 52 and 40 on suspicion of manslaughter. They were taken into custody for questioning.
Detectives conducted a search of a house in Moneymore at the time and seized a number of items. The 52-year-old man who was arrested yesterday was then further arrested on suspicion of possession of a Class A drug with intent to supply.
However, this evening, the PSNI’s Major Investigation Team said he was de-arrested on that suspicion.
The PSNI are now urging parents to talk to their children and encourage them to come forward to tell their stories to police so they can “get an accurate picture of events that night”.
Detectives can be contacted at the dedicated incident room at Dungannon police station by calling 101, extension 53055.
