Limavady 'murder' victim and accused both holidaymakers says PSNI

Police have appealed for more information after a holidaymaker was allegedly murdered on Monday night.

The woman, aged 37, was found dead at an outdoor accommodation site on Seacoast Road in Limavady.

Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell said a man, who is also a holidaymaker, has been arrested and that officers are not looking for anyone else in relation to the death.

Chief Inspector Caldwell added: "We received a report, just after 8.20pm [on Monday July 12] , that a woman had been stabbed at an outdoor accommodation site on Seacoast Road.

"Officers attended, along with colleagues from Northern Ireland Ambulance Service but, sadly, the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. She was 37-years-old.

"A man, aged 53-years-old, was subsequently arrested on suspicion of her murder, and he remains in custody this morning. While our enquires are at an early stage, I can confirm that both the victim, and the man who was arrested were holidaymakers, and that we are not looking for anyone else in relation to this tragic death."
