Detectives from the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s Major Investigation Team, who launched a murder inquiry following the death of a woman in Derry/Londonderry, have named the deceased as Amy Doherty.
Amy, aged 28, was found injured in a house in the Summer Meadows Mews area of the city on Saturday morning, 21 March.
Detective Inspector Ferguson said: “Amy was found, badly injured, at around 10.20am on Saturday. She was taken to hospital by colleagues from the Ambulance Service but, sadly, passed away a short time later.
“At 28 years old, Amy was just a young woman. And my thoughts are, first and foremost, with her family and friends at this unimaginably distressing time.”
Detective Inspector Ferguson continued: “A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder, and remains in custody at this time.
“Our enquiries are continuing, and the local community will continue to see a police presence in the Summer Meadows area over the coming days.
“I am appealing to anyone with information to contact us on 101, quoting reference 469 of 21/03/2026.”
