Police hunt follows city murders | |
(about 2 hours later) | |
Police have begun two separate murder investigations following the discovery of two bodies in Belfast. | |
In west Belfast, detectives are examining a car park off the Falls Road close to St Gall's GAA club after a man's body was found there. | |
In north Belfast, police are conducting a separate murder inquiry after a man's body was discovered near Elmfield Street, Ardoyne, at about 0800 GMT. | |
The man, who has not been identified, had suffered head injuries. | |
In west Belfast, the man's body remains at the scene covered by a forensic tent. | |
Police are interviewing another man in connection with this incident. He was admitted to the Royal Victoria Hospital with a gunshot wound to his upper body at 0300 GMT on Monday. | |
Detectives have asked the driver of a grey-coloured car who left the man to hospital to contact them. | |
West Belfast MP and Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams said his thoughts were with the bereaved families. | |
"While the circumstances surrounding the two deaths is not yet clear, if they were killed, then anyone with any information should bring that information to the police and should co-operate to bring the perpetrators to justice," he said. | |
SDLP assembly member Alex Attwood said the deaths were reminiscent of "the bad old days". | |
"But if we are going to have better days, then people need to help the police with this inquiry," he said. |
