Police have started a murder investigation after the discovery | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
of a man's body in a house in Lurgan this afternoon. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
Two men and a woman have been arrested. | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
Our reporter Catherine Morrison is at the scene. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
The police were called to the house at Manor Drive in a Lurgan shortly | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
before 3pm this afternoon. Inside, they found the body of a 29-year-old | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
man. It is still not clear how he died. The police say a postmortem | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
examination will be carried out to determine the cause of death. It is | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
understood a house party may have been taking place in the property at | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
the time. Three people have been arrested. Two men and one woman. And | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
are being questioned by police. Detectives want anyone who knows | :00:52. | :00:52. | |
what happened to contact them. Police are still hunting | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
for a prisoner who was mistakenly released from Maghaberry Jail | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
on Tuesday. 38-year-old Michael Lawrence Smith, | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
who was on remand charged with murder, was freed to attended | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
a family confirmation. The Prison Service have | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
apologised for their error. Michael Smith was released from | :01:08. | :01:18. | |
prison despite being refused permission to do so. He had applied | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
for compassionate bail on Monday to attend a family event. The Prison | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Service say he was collected by a family member just before lunchtime | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
on Tuesday. The mistake was realised the few hours later, around 4:30pm. | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
I want to apologise to the public this morning for what is a very | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
serious mistake on the part of the Prison Service. It is the will of | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
the Prison Service to protect the public by holding securely those | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
committed to our care by the courts. On this occasion, we have failed in | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
our responsibility and it was a very serious mistake and a very serious | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
occasion has risen. He also apologised to the family of the | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
28-year-old Michael Smith is accused of killing. He was shot dead in | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
front of his partner and young son in their home last year. Yesterday, | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
the police took the unusual step of publishing a photograph of Michael | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
Smith in an appeal for his whereabouts. The prisoner is said to | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
be dangerous with a history of violence. The police are urging the | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
public not to approach him but to contact them instead. This is where | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
Michael Smith was last seen. Around 2pm on Tuesday afternoon. The police | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
are a third day into their manhunt and the Prison Service has been left | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
scratching its head. It says it will review all procedure is so this will | :02:36. | :02:36. | |
never happen again. The judge overseeing the inquiry | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
into the renewable heat incentive scheme has said he won't be | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
reporting within months, The first public session | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
of the inquiry is due in April. Here's our Agriculture | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
and Environment Correspondent The Senate chamber at Stormont will | :02:50. | :03:01. | |
be the setting for the drama that may shape our political future. This | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
is where witnesses will come to tell what they know about the setting up | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
and running of the renewable heat incentive scheme. Today, the man in | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
charge set out his housekeeping rules. The German ruled out talk of | :03:15. | :03:24. | |
an early finish. He said his enquiry was a fact-finding mission, not a | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
trial, and had no power to determine any person's criminal or civil | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
liability. He poured cold water on talk of a six-month time frame, | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
saying no one would back the enquiry team for producing a fast but flawed | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
piece of work. And he ruled out an interim report. Some have looked to | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
as a way out of the current political stalemate, saying any | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
preliminary conclusions that could be reached would necessarily be | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
based on incomplete information. So no commitment from the chairman | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
other than to do the work as quickly as possible without sacrificing any | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
thoroughness. Those who bought this enquiry might produce a quick | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
political fix are starting to get a better sense of how long it all may | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
take, and it seems to be stretching into the distance a bit. | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
The Secretary of State James Brokenshire has warned | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
there could be another election if the parties can't reach agreement | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
The DUP leader Arlene Foster has said she regrets describing | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
republicans as crocodiles during the election campaign. | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
In an interview with Fermanagh newspaper the Impartial Reporter, | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
she said she regretted the comment insofar as it allowed | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
Here's our Political Correspondent Stephen Walker. | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
Stormont. To some, it is an uphill struggle. Two others, a chance to | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
catch a glimpse of history. Behind the scenes, the talking continues. | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
Today, in a letter to MPs, the Secretary of State said he wanted | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
devolution to work, but warned that there was no deal, another election | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
could follow. So should we get ready to vote again? I think there was | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
another election, I think there would be huge frustration across the | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
people of Northern Ireland. They have given their say already and | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
they have been very clear-cut. And there was a feeling here that the | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
public would be angry about holding another vote. Never mind about | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
elections are anything else. This is about the public. They came out in | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
very large numbers to tell us to get the job done. Legacy dominated much | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
of today's discussions, and the Ulster Unionist Party that the Irish | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
Government have not fulfilled their responsibilities. Particularly in | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
relation to Kingsmill. But we also said that they were still following | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
very far short of giving what the UK Government promised, which was full | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
disclosure. In contrast, Sinn Fein insisted it was the British | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
Government to donate on agreements. As we come towards the end of week | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
one, we haven't seen anything we put on the table for the British | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
Government on how we can deliver on the key issues, what the public are | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
demanding is action. Tonight, C Flannigan is returning to Dublin, | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
after two days of talking in Belfast. I do detect a willingness | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
on the part of everybody to do business. I am not underestimating | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
the challenge. There are real and serious issues outstanding. Some of | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
which go back 18 years to the Good Friday Agreement. So another day of | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
talking ends and perhaps today will be remembered for this stark warning | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
from the Secretary of State. In simple terms, he said, do a deal or | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
prepare for another election. There'll be more on the political | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
situation in The View after this programme, | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
and with news of that, Thank you. And one of the big | :06:40. | :06:49. | |
talking points this week is the next critical move by unionists in | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
response to losing its Stormont majority. We will hear from the DUP | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
and David Campbell, the former chair of the Ulster Unionist Party, what | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
the next steps should be and after that, how does nationalism approach | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
that shift in the political balance here? That is straight after | :07:07. | :07:07. | |
bulletin. The Ulster Bank is to close | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
nine of its 64 branches It says it's made the decision | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
because more of its customers The branches include four | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
in Belfast, and the rest are in Monkstown, Bangor, | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
Kircubbin, Garvagh and Londonderry. The Catholic primate | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
Archbishop Eamon Martin has said he is ashamed of revelations | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
about the Tuam mother and baby A recent report found | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
that there were significant human remains buried in a field linked | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
to the home that was run by nuns Archbishop Martin apologised | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
for what he called The best thing for us to do is to | :07:38. | :07:54. | |
open it up carefully and respectfully and I think establish | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
the truth, the whole truth really about what happened at that time, so | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
that we as a community and as a society, as people on this island, | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
can move on, understanding the shadows and the darkness and these | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
terrible chapters of our past. Hello. Good evening. It has felt | :08:11. | :08:21. | |
like another day when spring might just have sprung. This fantastic | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
picture sent in. I am afraid tomorrow it is all going to change. | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
Overnight, we have the cloud filling in and rain moving in from the west. | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
Quite mild. A 5-7dC. Beautiful blue skies for the last few days. It will | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
be an altogether cloudier picture tomorrow. Dull and grey and a bit | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
drizzly throughout the day. That blanket of cloud sitting over as. | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
Light rain never terribly far away. It is quite mild. Even without | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
feeling much in the way of sunshine. We will still see temperatures | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
11-12dC. We might get a few breaks in the cloud on high ground. | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
Generally, across the UK and Ireland, it is a pretty dry day. | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
Particularly across the eastern half of England where we will see some | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
decent spells of sunshine. Cloud and central parts. Overnight, we will | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
see more rain working its way through. A front coming through on | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
Friday night into Saturday. It means that Saturday will get off to a bit | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
of a cloudy start but it will be brighter later on. That front | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
clearing out of the way, introducing some fresh air. 12-13dC. Another | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
front overnight into Sunday. That introduces some cooler air and there | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
will be some showers but again at least some war in the way of | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
brightness. Saying settled and right into next week. | :09:45. | :09:45. | |
