Charred remains of man found in Limavady

The charred remains of a man have been discovered by police in Limavady, County Londonderry, at the weekend.

Detectives made the discovery at the back of a Masonic Hall at Linenhall Street in Limavady at around teatime on Sunday.

The victim's body was so badly burned that a post mortem examination was needed to identify the sex of the person. His identity has not yet been released.

Two people are currently being questioned by police in connection with the death.

Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
