Police appeal for information on teenager's murder
Police in County Antrim have launched an appeal to help find those responsible for the murder of Ballymena teenager Michael McIlveen at the weekend.
It is understood that Michael and his two friends were chased from the car park at the IMC Cinema on the Larne Road in Ballymena at around midnight on Saturday evening.

Anyone who may have been in the area between these times are asked to contact the police incident room as a matter of urgency on 028 25 667280.
Alternatively, police can be contacted anonymously on the Crimestoppers number on 0800 555 111.
