Detectives have launched a murder investigation after the body of a man was discovered in Clogher over the weekend.

30-year-old Pat Ward's body was found in an alleyway in McCrea Park at around 8.15am on Saturday morning, 09 February.

A 33-year-old female and 23-year-old male arrested on suspicion of murder remain in police custody at this time after officers were granted an additional 36 hours to question them.

A post-mortem examination has yet to take place.
