Northern Ireland: Arrest Over Three Deaths

A man has been arrested over the deaths of three of his former girlfriends, all of whom died in suspicious circumstances.

The 66-year-old was arrested in Dromore, County Down, a quiet market town where all three women died.

Michelle Bickerstaff, 47, died suddenly in hospital in April 2012, while Margaret Weise died in August 2007, aged 50. Elizabeth McKee was 52 when she died in December 2002.

It is understood the women all died from physical injuries, with detectives working to establish how they were caused.

The arrested man was taken to a police station in Antrim, where he is also being questioned on suspicion of other offences relating to other women.

Sky News correspondent David Blevins, in Antrim, said: "We're being told the man in custody has been questioned before in relation to the most recent of those deaths, that of Ms Bickerstaff last year, although he was released unconditionally.

"Police are also telling us that this investigation has not resulted in the exhumation of any body at this stage, although the families of all three women at the centre of the investigation are being kept informed of developments."

Dromore is a small town 17 miles southwest of Belfast and has a population of 48,300 people.

Local councillor Carol Black, who knew the three women who died, told the Dromore Leader newspaper: "The shock is etched on the faces of everyone in Dromore.

"They were bubbly women with a lot to look forward to. The whole community cannot believe it."
