Ballyclare Murder Probed
There's news today of a major police investigation after a woman was found strangled in Ballyclare, Co Antrim at the weekend.
A murder inquiry has been launched after Pauline Haveron's body was found in a house at Huntingdale Green on Sunday. She was 53-years-old and a mother to grown-up sons and a daughter.
Details of the death were only released on Tuesday after a post mortem and consultations with the victim's family.
Detectives from the PSNI's Serious Crime Branch launched the enquiry and are keen to speak to anyone who was in the Doagh Road and Huntingdale areas between 10pm on Saturday and 1am on Sunday.
Local DUP politician, Alderman Nigel Hamilton, (pictured) who lives in Ballyclare, said it was a very sad affair.
"This is very tragic," he commented, and said that it is a very serious and shocking incident.
It is understood the victim was separated from her husband and had been living in the Huntingdale area for the last five years.
UTV reported this afternoon that her 18-year-old son also lived at the property but wasn't in the house at the time of his mothers death.
