A woman whose body was discovered in a house in Donaghadee on Monday morning has been named locally as Mandy Magill.
Ms Magill was a mother of one aged in her 50s and was discovered at a property in the Rosepark area of the Co Down town.
A man, also aged in his 50s, remains in custody on Tuesday morning after being arrested on Monday in relation to what the PSNI are treating as a sudden death.
It’s understood the man in custody in relation to the death was known to Ms Magill.
PSNI detectives are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil McGuinness said: “Police received a report just after 7am this morning, Monday 14 October, that a woman, aged in her 50s, had been found dead in a house in the Rosepark area of the town. “While our enquiries are at an early stage, I can confirm that a man, also aged in his 50s, has been arrested as part of our investigation and remains in custody at this time.”
DCI McGuinness has appealed to anyone who was in the Rosepark area between the night of Sunday 13 October and the morning of Monday 14 October, and who may have information that could assist the investigation to contact officers on 101. Please quote reference 214 of 14/10/24.”
The local community was reported to be “shocked” on Monday after news of the sudden death emerged, with Ms Magill said to be from a well-known local family.
