A judge has granted police more time to question a 33-year-old man

about the murder of Anthony McErlain in Ballycastle.

:00:16.:00:17.

The 48-year-old was found dead at a flat

:00:18.:00:19.

Police said he had suffered a traumatic and frightening death.

:00:20.:00:23.

A 50-year-old man who was arrested last night is also

:00:24.:00:26.

Transfer test results have been delivered to Primary

:00:27.:00:31.

The GL and the AQE exams are used by most grammar schools

:00:32.:00:36.

but the Education Minister John O'Dowd has called them

:00:37.:00:38.

Our Education Correspondent Robbie Meredith reports.

:00:39.:00:48.

A cold January morning but Charlotte and her family from county Down have

:00:49.:00:57.

decided not to wait for the transfer test results to drop through the

:00:58.:01:02.

letterbox. Because the post doesn't come until 12:30pm. We cannot wait!

:01:03.:01:11.

Every hour is taking four hours to go! She has worked really hard and

:01:12.:01:14.

hopefully we'll get the result she wants. The separate GL and a Kiwi

tests have been used by grammar schools to select pupils since the

:01:22.:01:26.

11 plus exam was abolished in 2008. It is the moment of truth. -- a

:01:27.:01:41.

Kiwis. Yes! Well done. I got 104. Is that as good as you expected? Yes.

:01:42.:01:47.

Mum is hoping she would get into Grosvenor is. I am absolutely

:01:48.:01:56.

thrilled for her. My goodness! Charlotte's market is one of 14,500

:01:57.:02:01.

results or both some children sit both exams. She wasn't the only one

:02:02.:02:06.

who decided to collect the results from Newtownards Post Office. I have

:02:07.:02:12.

done quite well, very well. 114. It is really good for me. Charlotte

:02:13.:02:17.

will find out in May if the result is enough to get into Grosvenor in

east Belfast. It is where she wants to go next. Academic selection is a

:02:24.:02:28.

divisive issue but although a small number of grammar schools no longer

:02:29.:02:32.

use it, the high numbers of children taking the transfer test shows there

:02:33.:02:33.

taking the transfer test shows there is little signs of it ending.

:02:34.:02:39.

A man and a woman have been tied up during an armed robbery

:02:40.:02:42.

A number of masked men, one of whom was armed,

:02:43.:02:46.

broke into the house in the Knocks area of the town at about 8

:02:47.:02:49.

They tied the couple to chairs before making off

:02:50.:02:52.

Neither of them were injured, but are said to have been left badly

:02:53.:02:56.

An elderly woman suffered injuries to her face during a robbery in west

:02:57.:03:01.

She was attacked by a man in an alleyway just off

:03:02.:03:04.

A 25-year-old Newtownabbey man has been remanded in custody

:03:12.:03:13.

at Belfast Magistratres Court charged in connection with a series

:03:14.:03:16.

of robberies and burglaries carried out in Newtownabbey and Belfast

:03:17.:03:18.

The Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams has criticised the DUP for telling

:03:30.:03:39.

the Taoiseach not to interfere in the UK's forthcoming referendum

:03:40.:03:41.

Earlier this week, DUP leader Arlene Foster said that Enda Kenny

:03:42.:03:49.

had no right to tell people here how they should vote in the referendum.

:03:50.:03:52.

However, Mr Adams said the vote was a matter of concern to people

:03:53.:03:55.

A pro to Unionists about the Taoiseach interventions on exit are

:03:56.:04:13.

self-serving. The Taoiseach is entitled to comment on any matter on

:04:14.:04:19.

any part of this island, if Sinn Fein had criticism it is that he

:04:20.:04:21.

isn't engaged enough. Ulster are leading Treviso. Two

:04:22.:04:33.

penalties in the first half and you can catch that match now on BBC Two.

:04:34.:04:38.

here's Cecilia Daly with a look at the weather forecast for the rest

:04:39.:04:41.

It has been cold and wintry today, sleet and snow showers are affecting

:04:42.:04:51.

many places. The snow continues to lie in some areas tonight. It will

:04:52.:04:56.

become very icy, not great whether travelling. Eventually we see milder

:04:57.:05:00.

air returning in the course of Sunday but tonight the main focus is

:05:01.:05:06.

on snow and ice. The wind will ease, further sleet and snow showers, I

:05:07.:05:10.

see in places as temperatures drop below freezing. By the end of the

:05:11.:05:15.

night, rain, sleet and snow on the high ground and that is how we start

:05:16.:05:22.

Sunday. Cold, grey and damp but it will become milder and wetter as the

:05:23.:05:25.

day progresses. Pretty cold and wet and dry morning, low temperatures to

:05:26.:05:30.

begin, sleet, hill snow and that continues to be the case across

:05:31.:05:33.

Scotland and northern England with icy conditions for a while. Milder

:05:34.:05:38.

air will arrive across the Republic of Ireland and Wales and England but

:05:39.:05:42.

for north-east England and Scotland, it stays cold and wintry. The middle

:05:43.:05:49.

of the afternoon, pretty wet, not as windy as today but milder air pushes

:05:50.:05:54.

in so much of the snow will tend to melt away. Pretty great tomorrow,

:05:55.:05:59.

not so much sunshine. Mild weather to come on Sunday night but

increasingly windy as this next area of low pressure has been named

place, severe gales, potentially damage and disruption again with

:06:18.:06:24.

gusts in excess of 60 miles an hour. Mild on Monday and gradually

:06:25.:06:28.

becoming less windy on Tuesday and Wednesday. Also colder. We are back
