TWO men, aged 19 and 20, are still being questioned by police investigating the murder of a man in Derry.

Karol Kelly, 35, was stabbed to death during a fight involving a group of men in Grafton Street, Rosemount, at about 2.40 am on Sunday.

The father of five was from the Beechwood area of the city.

A 27-year-old, who was also arrested on Sunday, has been released on police bail.

Police said they were “working to determine the precise sequence of events” that led to the man’s death.

Sinn Féin’s Elisha McCallion, who is the MP for Foyle, said a community and a city were “left devastated by the terrible news”.

“It is very early stages in the investigation and the police are asking for any witnesses to come forward and let themselves be known,” she said.

Mark H Durkan, an SDLP MLA for Foyle, said that the “whole city was in shock and sadness at what has happened.”

“The family have a long and hard road ahead and it’s important to know that we’re behind them and the whole of Derry are behind them on that journey,” he said.
