Police investigating the murder of a couple who were set on fire in County Armagh have said they want to trace three cars.

Thomas O'Hare, 33, and Lisa McClatchey, 21, died after a gang attack at their house in Tassagh on 6 November.

Police revisited the scene on Monday night and set up checkpoints. A mobile police station was also brought in.

Detectives said they wanted to trace a Vauxhall Vectra, a BMW 3 Series car and a Rover 200 seen in the area.

Police have appealed for anyone who saw the cars in the area of Foley Road, Coolmillish Road, Ballymacnab or the Friary Road area of Armagh on 6 November or on the Friary Road towards Newtownhamilton between 2015 GMT and 2145 GMT.

A police spokeswoman said: "Detectives want to identify new witnesses and develop new lines of inquiry."

The couple's funerals took place separately on Monday in Clady and Portadown.

A 43-year-old man has appeared in court on charges of withholding information about the incident.

Police want to question four brothers about the attack.

The brothers remain seriously ill with burns in a Dublin hospital.

A man and a woman who were arrested last week have been released on police bail.
