Two people are being held on suspicion of murder following the death of Ryan Macrae.

The 32-year-old from Killyleagh died in hospital on Tuesday night as the result of injuries sustained in an assault.

He was attacked in Portaferry on October 14th.

Police are treating his death as murder and say an investigation is ongoing.

A 19 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder since the investigation was upgraded.

The PSNI now say a 28-year-old man is also being questioned on suspicion of the same offence.
