Murder Probe As Man Dies In Clogher

Detectives have launched a murder investigation after the body of a man was discovered in Clogher over the weekend.

30-year-old Pat Ward's body was found in an alleyway in McCrea Park at around 8.15am on Saturday morning, 09 February.

A 33-year-old female and 23-year-old male arrested on suspicion of murder remain in police custody at this time after officers were granted an additional 36 hours to question them.

A post-mortem examination has yet to take place.

Detective Chief Inspector Peter McKenna issued an appeal to anyone who was in the area of McCrea Park late on Friday night or early on Saturday morning and who witnessed any unusual activity, or anyone with any information that can assist the investigation to contact detectives on 101 quoting reference 403 09/02/19. 

Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime.
