A man who was fatally stabbed in Gilford in County Down in the early hours of this morning has been named as 36-year-old Eamonn Darren O'Hanlon from North Belfast.

He died as a result of his injuries after he was knifed outside a house in Hill Street in the village.

Four people have now been arrested in connection with the death and are currently in police custody. 

Police say witnesses, or anyone with information, can contact detectives by calling 101, quoting reference 262 21/05/22.

Upper Bann MP Carla Lockhart offered condolences to the family of the victim.

She said:  “First and foremost our prayers this morning are with the family of the deceased.  A death of a loved one is never easy but in such circumstances it is even more difficult to comprehend.  

I know the entire Gilford community will be in shock.  It is important for everyone to give time and space to the PSNI to conduct their investigations.  Our thanks must also go to the emergency services who attended to the scene.  If anyone has any further information please come forward and report it to the Police.”
