Detective Superintendent Jason Murphy said the circumstances surrounding the deaths are being investigated, with post-mortem examinations to take place in due course.

Sinn Fein Councillor Charlie Casey said the local community in Newry is in shock at the deaths.
He added: "My thoughts and sympathies are with all of those involved in this incident and their families. Details are still emerging and a police investigation is underway and that should be allowed to proceed.
"I would encourage anyone with information on this incident to bring it forward to the PSNI."
