Police continue to question pair

Police in the North are continuing to question two men in connection with the discovery of two bodies in Warrenpoint, Co Down.

The two dead men are believed to be Lithuanian, as are the two detainees.

The pair were arrested in Newry and police have since begun searching houses in the town, as well as in Co Armagh.

The two dead men had their throats cut and were so badly beaten that police initially believed they were shot.

Police believe they had been working locally in either a mushroom farm or a meat-packing plant.

Forensic scientists are currently searching the area on Mound Road where the bodies were found and gardaí and Interpol are helping the PSNI with their investigation.
