Detectives are continuing to investigate the death of a man who was found inside a property in Beechwood yesterday, Thursday 1 August.
Just before 4pm, we received a report of a concern for safety of a man in his 20s at an address on Fender Way.
There is no wider threat to people in the community.
The man has been formally identified and his next of kin have been informed.
A post-mortem examination will take place to establish his cause of death.
Two men aged 43 and 27 years from Beechwood have been arrested on suspicion of murder. They are still in police custody.
Detective Chief Inspector Peter Stephenson said: “Our sincere condolences continue to remain with the family of the man who has died.
“An investigation is underway with officers carrying out enquires to establish exactly what happened.
“We continue to urge anyone who may have seen or know something that might help with the investigation to please contact us.”
