The body of Mr Joseph Black (53), was found in a house on Lambeth Way, Coleraine, Co Derry, on Saturday morning. Mr Black lived alone. No motive for his killing has been established.
In Strabane, Co Tyrone, police were called to a house on the Ballycolman estate on Saturday night where they recovered the body of a man. He had sustained severe head injuries. Two people were arrested in connection with his death. It is believed there could be a domestic motive for the killing.
