Detectives investigating the murder of Kyle McDermott have today, 8 October, made a specific appeal for information.

Kyle McDermott, who was 24 years old, died following an altercation that took place in Ballymagorry on the night of Sunday 6 October.

Detective Inspector Hazel Miller said: “I am making a specific and direct appeal to the occupants of a blue-coloured car.  This car was parked on the Victoria Road, near the scene of the altercation, and we believe that an occupant captured mobile footage of the incident. 

Detective Inspector Miller continued: “Kyle, at just 24 years old, was a young man in his prime when his life was cut short, leaving a family and friends heartbroken.

“I am appealing, in the first instance, to the driver and passengers of that car to please contact us on 101 as soon as possible, as your support could greatly assist our enquiries.

“I will also take the opportunity to extend a reminder to anyone who as in the Victoria Road area on Sunday night between 6pm and midnight to come forward with any information or footage you may have.  Please quote reference 1670 of 06/10/24.”
