NI News: Police appeal to help find missing Ballycastle mum and her daughter

Police have issued an appeal for a missing Antrim woman believed to be with her daughter.

PSNI say they are becoming increasingly concerned for Afton McNamee's welfare.

Police Causeway Coast & Glens issued an appeal on social media on Wednesday night to help find the Ballycastle woman and her child Mary.

It said: "Police are becoming increasingly concerned for the welfare of Afton McNamee who previously resided in the Ballycastle area with her child Mary McNamee.

"Afton is described as female, 5ft 4”, Brown shoulder length hair, slim build, no details on what she is wearing. Afton is believed to be with her child.


"If anyone has any information on the whereabouts of Afton please contact Police on 101 quoting serial 956 of 12/05/21."

Meanwhile, the partner and family of a missing Belfast man have made an emotional appeal for him to get in touch with them.

Ábhristín Ó Cadhlaigh has been missing for over a week after leaving the Royal Victoria hospital on Sunday May 2 at around 6.45pm.

The 49-year-old is considered vulnerable and is thought to be experiencing some paranoia at present but does not pose a risk to others.

Police have obtained CCTV footage of Ábhristín in stores in Portadown earlier this week and believe he bought a number of items, including a distinctive red coat which he was later spotted wearing at a supermarket in the same area.
