Third Arrested Over Randalstown Murder
A third person has been arrested by detectives investigating the murder of a 65-year-old man in Randalstown, County Antrim on 7 January.
Two people, a man aged 29 and a woman aged 31, were arrested by officers late on Thursday. A third person, a man aged 30, was arrested in the early hours of Friday morning.
At about 00:10 on Thursday morning, a 65-year-old businessman and a 57-year-old woman were driving along the Caddy Road having finished work at their business, a Chinese restaurant in Randalstown. It is believed that their vehicle was forced off the road by two other vehicles and they were approached by a number of people.
The pair were attacked and a sum of cash was taken from them. The man died at the scene as a result of stab wounds.
The woman ran for help to a house in the Caddy Road area of Randalstown and called the police.
The woman suffered wounds to her hands and head. Police discovered the body of her husband at the scene of the attack. The woman has undergone surgery for injuries that do not appear to be life threatening.
All suspects arrested are being questioned by detectives, but the PSNI has said there is no suspicion of a hate motivation.
Police have appealed for information from the public, specifically anyone who saw vehicles moving along Caddy Road between 23:30 on Wednesday night and 01:00 on Thursday morning.
The PSNI would also like to speak to anyone who may have noticed a black Seat Toledo car, registration number OE62 FRF, in the Randalstown area from around 21:00 to midnight on Wednesday 07 January.
Anyone with information can contact Detectives at a special incident room in Ballymena PSNI station on the non-emergency number 101 or via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
