Police investigating the murder of Natalie McNally on Saturday carried out a number of house-to-house inquiries in the Lisburn area.

Detectives have also seized a car from an address in the Lisburn and Castlereagh area, which has been taken away for further examination.

Police will revisit the scene of Natalie's murder on Sunday in a bid to encourage anyone with information to come forward.

Ms McNally, 32, who was 15 weeks pregnant, was stabbed in her home in the Silverwood Green area of Lurgan, Co Armagh, on December 18.

Police have made two arrests but no-one has been charged.

A 32-year-old man arrested on December 19 was released unconditionally and is no longer a suspect.

A second man detained on December 21, also 32, has been released on police bail for further inquiries.

A silent vigil for Ms McNally, at Parliament Buildings, Stormont, was held on Thursday, attended by her three brothers.

Her brother Declan McNally told those at the vigil: "Whatever differences of opinions there are in this country we know there is no difference of opinion and everybody wants to see an end to violence against women and girls.

"And everybody in society has to redouble our efforts to end violence against women and girls in memory of our sister Natalie."
