Two in court over south Belfast murder
Two further people have been charged in relation to the murder of Ian Flanagan in south Belfast last weekend.
Last night a 17-year-old youth was charged with murder and a 20-year-old man was charged with withholding information.
Both men appeared at Laganside Court in Belfast at 10.30am this morning. Yesterday a teenager appeared in court charged with Mr Flanagan's murder.
Thirty-year-old Ian Samuel Flanagan, of Donegall Avenue in Belfast, was found murdered near playing fields in south Belfast on Sunday. He was originally from Keady in Co Armagh.
Police have revealed that the victim had suffered massive head injuries. The man leading the investigation, Detective Superintendent Roy Suitters, said it was a "truly horrific crime".
Mr Flanagan was last seen leaving his home at teatime on Saturday evening. Detectives had been hopeful that guests and staff attending a function in the nearby Malone House may have information relating to the crime.
Police would like to hear from anyone who could help establish Mr Flanagan's movements to contact them on 028 9065 0222.
