A MURDER investigation was launched last night after a 45 year-old man was found dead in Co Armagh.
Another man, also 45 and believed to be the victim's twin brother, was arrested at the scene after the man's body was found in a block of flats on Victoria Street in Lurgan yesterday afternoon.
The flats are the same complex where 31-year-old Laura Marshall was found dead in April 2016.
It is understood the dead man is originally from Lithuania.
Detective Inspector Darren McCartney said: "A 45-year-old man has been arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder and he remains in police custody at this time.
"I am appealing for anyone with any information that can assist with the investigation to contact detectives in Lurgan."
SDLP MLA Dolores Kelly said the community was stunned by the news.
"My thoughts and condolences go out to the family of the victim," she said. "I hope the police get all the help they need in bringing the perpetrator to justice".
Ms Kelly said she was saddened that it was the second violent death on Victoria Street in the last two years.
"It's shocking that yet another person has lost their life in this area," she said.
Sinn Féin councillor Keith Haughian said he was shocked by the killing.
"It just seems to be a tragic incident," he said. "My thoughts are with the man's family. It's terrible news for them."
Mr Haughian said Victoria Street is a "densely populated" area and houses residents of all ages and nationalities.
"I would appeal for calm," he said. "Police are speaking to another man about this incident."
Upper Bann DUP MLA Carla Lockhart appealed to anyone with information to contact police.
"This is horrendous news," she said.
"My thoughts are with those now mourning the loss of a loved one. I sympathise and assure them of my prayers."
