<\/p>\nThe body of Wayne Reid (43) was discovered in the Society Court area of Coleraine following a report received on Monday, January 12 at 10.30am.<\/p>\n
A suspect, aged 33, has been taken into police custody in connection with the incident where he remains at this time.<\/p>\n
Police believe the incident occurred between January 8-10 in the Society Court or Society Street areas.<\/p>\n
Detective Chief Inspector Hazel Miller, from the PSNI Major Investigation Team, said: \u201cOfficers, along with colleagues from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, responded to an address in the Society Court area of Coleraine, following a report received just after 11.30am on Monday, 12th January.<\/p>\n
\u201cSadly, a man, who has been named as 43-year-old Wayne Reid, was pronounced dead at the scene. My thoughts are firmly with Mr Reid\u2019s family and loved ones, as they try to come to terms with their loss.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne man aged 33 has been arrested on suspicion of murder, and remains in police custody at this time.<\/p>\n
\u201cDetectives are working at pace to establish the exact circumstances surrounding Mr Reid\u2019s death and I am appealing for anyone with information that could assist our investigation to come forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the investigation is at a very early stage, we believe that Wayne may have been involved in an altercation, sometime between Thursday 8th and Saturday 10th January in the Society Court or Society Street areas of Coleraine. Therefore, I am particularly keen to hear from anyone who was in the area at that time.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you saw or heard anything unusual, no matter how insignificant you think it may be, please contact police on 101 quoting reference number 552 of 12\/01\/2026.<\/p>\n
