Detectives investigating the sudden death of a man at a hostel in Ballymena have arrested another man on suspicion of robbery and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

The 27 year-old remains in police custody.

His arrest follows the discovery of a man's body at a Simon Community hostel in Henry Street early yesterday.

A knife was recovered from the River Braid yesterday afternoon but the PSNI has yet to confirm if it's connected to the investigation.
