PSNI investigating the Greenvale Hotel deaths have arrested two people, it was announced today.

In a brief statement, the police said: “Detectives from PSNI Major Investigation Team investigating the deaths of three teenagers at the Greenvale Hotel in Cookstown on 17 March have arrested two men aged 52 and 40 earlier today, Tuesday 19 March, on suspicion of manslaughter.

"They are currently in custody.”

The move came after a senior officer called for young people at the hotel on the night of the tragedy to come forward.

Detective Chief Superintendent Raymond Murray, Head of Serious Crime Branch, said they have “already traced the identities of over 160 witnesses”, but believe around 400 were there on Sunday night.
