Detectives have launched a murder investigation after a 40 year old man was found dead in Ballymena.

He was discovered in a house in Devenagh Court yesterday afternoon.

A 53-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Local councillor Reuben Glover says the community's stunned:

Detective Chief Inspector Peter McKenna, who is leading the investigation, said: “The death was reported to us at 3pm this afternoon. A post mortem examination has yet to take place but, at this time, I am treating this as murder.  

“A 53-year-old woman was subsequently arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody at this time.

“My thoughts go out to the victim’s family at this tragic time. 

“I want to appeal to anyone who has any information to contact detectives on 101.
