The PSNI is investigating a number of suspicious deaths at Glin Ree Court in Newry, County Down.

It's understood three bodies were discovered at the apartment block in the city at around 11am this morning.

The PSNI have tweeted to say the bodies found were that of a male and two females.

A large number of police officers are in the area - which has been cordoned off.

Detective Superintendent Jason Murphy said: “The bodies of an adult male, an adult female and a teenage girl were discovered at around 11am this morning, Thursday 7 March.

The circumstances of the deaths will now be subject to investigation and post mortem examinations will take place in due course.

At this stage it would not be appropriate to elaborate further on the circumstances as our enquiries at an extremely early stage.”

SDLP MLA Justin McNulty told BBC News NI: "A dark cloud is hanging over this area today and it's really sad."
