A male remains in custody following the murder of a man in Dungannon on Saturday while a child fights for her life in hospital.
A woman, who was also present in the property on Lisnahull Road, was injured but has since been released from hospital.
Detectives from the PSNI’s Major Investigation Team say they are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Detective Chief Inspector Robinson said: “The body of a man was discovered inside a home on the Lisnahull Road at around 11am yesterday, Saturday 29th August. A seriously injured child and a woman who had sustained non-life threatening injuries were also present in the home.
“The child remains in a critical condition at this time while the woman has been released from hospital.
“The cause of the man’s death has not yet been formally established and post-mortem examinations will take place in due course.
“A male, who was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder and attempted murder, remains in custody.
“As such, it would be inappropriate to comment further and I would ask that the public avoid speculation until we can provide further updates.
“However, I want to reassure the public that we do not believe that there is any ongoing risk, and at this stage we are not seeking anyone else in relation to the deaths.
“Our thoughts are very much with the family and friends of those involved.
“Anyone with information which could assist our detectives with their investigation should contact us on 101, quoting reference 564 of 29/08/26.
