Police in Dromore have launched an appeal for information, following the arrest of a man as part of investigations into the deaths of three women in the area over the past 11 years.
A 66-year-old man was detained in the town yesterday morning and was taken to the Serious Crime Suite at Antrim police station for questioning.
47-year-old Michelle Bickerstaff died in April last year, 50-year-old Margaret Weise in August 2007 and Elizabeth McKee, 52, in December 2002.

People may have been reluctant to come forward in the past but I can assure you that any information given to the Police will be treated in the utmost confidence.
