Asian woman found murdered in car boot

An Asian woman was found murdered in the boot of a car in north Belfast early today.

Two men, also believed to be Asians, were later arrested.

The body was found when police stopped a Ford Escort on the city’s Antrim Road.

Officers had earlier set up a number of checkpoints after being alerted to the movements of a car in the neighbouring Skegoneill Avenue area.

Part of the area was sealed off as part of a follow-up operation.

At the same time a post mortem examination was carried out to determine the exact cause of the woman’s death.
