Youth questioned in connection with murder of man in Conlig
A 15-year-old youth is being questioned by police following the death of a man in a stabbing incident in Conlig, north Down.
The name of the 27-year-old man who died in Conlig has not yet been made public.
The police say he died after being stabbed in an incident in the Breezemount area of Conlig on Sunday November 18.
The police said a dispute arose amongst a group of people in the street around 4.30pm on Sunday. Two men were stabbed and taken to hospital. The 27-year-old died in hospital from his injuries. The other man was discharged from the Ulster Hospital after treatment.
Meanwhile police have confirmed that the body of a man found in a river between Glenarm and Larne on 16th November 2001 is that of 36-year-old Hugh Hector Cameron, from Carrickfergus, who has been missing for almost a month.
On Friday November 16 a passing motorist on the Augherboy Road near Glenarm found the body of a man. He had been stabbed. He was found on rocks on a stretch of the Skeagh River near to a local landmark, the Ligalooskeagh whirlpool.
Police are trying to establish how long the body had been in the river, but it is understood to have been badly decomposed. Dental records are being used to try to confirm the murdered man's identity. The police have said the man came by a violent and brutal death and it is believed that those responsible would have had blood on their clothing. (AMcE)
