Two women are due in court in Lisburn this morning charged in connection with the murder of 23 year old Odhrán Kelly in Lurgan.

The women, aged 43 and 36, are both charged with assisting an offender.

Two men, both aged 31, are still being questioned on suspicion of murder.

Meanwhile a vigil for Odhrán took place in Lurgan last night.

Hundreds braved the pouring rain as Father Colum Wright read prayers.

In an appeal for information Detective Chief Inspector Kelly said, “While our investigation is at an early stage, I do not believe there is an organised crime link.”

“We do know that, tragically, Odhran’s body was found beside a burning car in the Maple Court area in the early hours of Sunday morning.”

“I’m keen to speak with three people, who are captured on CCTV, walking not far from this car. I believe they may have information that could assist our investigation and would ask them to get in touch as soon as possible.”
