Three people have been arrested and are currently assisting police in their investigation.

Witnesses or anyone with information can contact detectives by calling 101, citing reference number 262 21/05/22.

DUP MP Carla Lockhart said Guperford’s community was “shocked”.

She added: “First of all, our prayers this morning are with the family of the deceased. The death of a loved one is never easy, but in such circumstances it is even more difficult to understand.

“It is important that everyone gives PSNI time and space to conduct their own investigations. Our gratitude should also go to the emergency services that were present at the scene. If anyone has additional information, please contact the police. “
