DETECTIVES from the PSNI’s Major Investigation Team have been granted a further 36 hours to question two men over the murder of Donald Fraser-Rennie.

The 33-year-old was tragically found dead in a flat in the Crebilly Road area of Ballymena on Wednesday morning, September 30.

Two suspects – aged 29 and 33 – were arrested for questioning yesterday.

Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell said: “We continue to appeal to anyone who has information that could assist with the investigation to contact us.

“ I am also keen to speak to:

“Anyone who had been in contact with Donald at any time between, Tuesday, 29 September and 1.00am on Wednesday, 30 September.

“Anyone who was in the Crebilly Road between mid-day on Tuesday and 1.00am on Wednesday.

“I am particularly keen to establish whether witnesses saw or heard anything suspicious.

“I would ask anyone who has any information, no matter how inconsequential you may think it is, to contact detectives on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference 52 30/09/20. 

“Alternatively information can also be provided anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. “
