Murder Inquiry Launched
A murder investigation has commenced following the discovery of a woman in her 20s found deceased in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh.
Police officers responded to reports of a collision on the Carn Road in Tempo at approximately 21:15 GMT on Saturday. Upon arrival, they found a grey car at the scene; however, the driver was not present.
Subsequently, officers proceeded to a residence on Corban Avenue, where the vehicle was registered, and there they discovered the body of the woman.
A 45-year-old man was apprehended near the Carn Road scene on suspicion of murder and other related offences.
Increased Police Presence
Detective Chief Inspector Gary Robinson of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) stated that detectives are actively working to determine the full circumstances surrounding the woman's death and have appealed for public assistance.
"We're especially keen to hear from anyone who was travelling on the Cornagrade Road into Corban Avenue between 18:30 GMT and 22:45 GMT on Saturday and noticed anything out of the ordinary, or suspicious, to make contact with us," he said.
Fermanagh and Omagh District Commander, Superintendent Pete Cunningham, expressed his condolences to the victim's family and friends during this difficult time.
"I want to reassure the local community that detectives are working at pace, and we would also urge members of the public not to speculate," he said.
"As a victim-focused organisation, violence against women and girls is a priority for policing, and I understand that incidents like this will cause significant concern.
We are doing everything we can to ensure women and girls feel safe in our communities."
Superintendent Cunningham also confirmed that there will be an increased police presence in the area today and in the coming days.
