Police in the North have launched a murder investigation after a man was killed following an overnight assault in Strabane.

Officers say that they were alerted to an assault in the Ballymagorry area at 11:30pm last night.

The victim, who has not yet been named, was pronounced dead in the early hours of this morning.

As officers had to cordon off the scene, the busy A5 road has been closed.

Police say they’ve arrested a 24-year-old man in connection with the murder, and he is currently being held for further questioning.

Detective Inspector Hazel Miller said in a statement that; “While our investigation is at an early stage, I can confirm that a 24-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the murder and he remains in custody at this time.”

“Officers remain at the scene as we continue our enquiries, and a number of road closures are in place.”

“We will provide a further update in due course.”

Police are appealing to anyone who was in the Victoria Road area of Strabane/Ballymagorry on Sunday night between 6pm and midnight, or who may have captured CCTV, dash cam or mobile footage, to contact them on 101 quoting reference 1670 of 06/10/24.
