Police revisit town murder scene

Police are revisiting the scene of Kenneth Nicholl's murder

Police investigating the murder of a father-of-one in Larne last weekend have revisited the scene.

Kenneth Nicholl, 28, was found dead at the back of Herbert Avenue by a passer-by at 0800 GMT on 2 November. He had been stabbed several times.

Mr Nicholl was buried on Saturday following a service at the town's Old Presbyterian Church.

DCI Jonathan Roberts said people may have seen the power station employee the night before his body was found.

"Kenny had been drinking in Larne town the night before he died," he said.

"It is entirely possible that members of the local community saw him walking home, or indeed may have seen or heard something in the area of Herbert Avenue between Saturday night and Sunday morning."

Detectives have arrested a man in connection with Mr Nicholl's murder and he remains in custody.
