Four men being questioned in connection with murder
Detectives are questioning four men in connection with the murder of a man found murdered in the Malone Road area of south Belfast.
Kenneth Oslon, 43, from Lower Windsor Avenue was found in an entry behind a house in Eglantine Avenue just after 10pm on Saturday 4 August.
Mr Oslon appeared to have suffered severe head injuries as a result of being beaten.
It is believed that the murder may be related to an argument in the alley that a neighbour reported hearing on Friday 3 August. He also said that he had seen the body lying in the entry at around 6am on Saturday morning, but failed to report it because he believed the man was asleep.
It is the second murder in the Eglantine Avenue area in the last eight months. (CD)
