The PSNI has launched a double-murder and suspected suicide investigation after the discovery of three bodies in Newtownabby, on the outskirts of north Belfast. Police suspect that a man fatally stabbed his mother and his girlfriend at separate locations and then killed himself. “As officers carried out further enquiries, they attended a residential property in the Glenville Road area,” he said. “My thoughts and sympathies are with the families concerned in what they are going through at this time,” said the South Antrim MLA. How many more women have to die before our Executive takes action to address gender based violence?” added Ms McClelland.
