Police investigating the death of a man from Ballabeg have stepped up their request for witnesses.

A murder investigation has been launched after 60-year-old Neil Roberts was found at a property in Castletown in the early hours of Sunday morning.

He had died as a result of injuries sustained from a violent incident at the house on Queen Street.

A 45-year-old man and 47-year-old woman, both from Castletown, have since been arrested.

Over 20 officers are working on the case - Inspector Derek Flint explains why further help has also been brought in from the UK:
