“I have been in close contact with the PSNI this morning. This is an extremely distressing situation and my thoughts and prayers are with the individual involved and their family at this difficult time.
I would urge anyone who may have witnessed anything, or who has further information, to pass that directly to the Police.
The PSNI have already provided a clear account to the public regarding the circumstances of the incident. In light of that, it is important that people do not speculate online and instead allow the police to get on with their job.
Above all, I would ask for compassion and sensitivity. A family is facing great uncertainty, they deserve privacy, respect and support from the wider community.”
