A 30-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murdering Amy Doherty in Londonderry remains unfit for police interview due to medical treatment. Police launched a murder investigation after attending a property in Summer Meadows Mews at around 10.20am on Saturday. Officers found 28-year-old Ms Doherty injured at the scene.

Foyle MLA Ciara Ferguson addressed Stormont on the death. She noted it leaves two children without their mother and expressed support to the family, friends, and Derry community.

SDLP MLA Mark Durkan visited the Doherty family on Sunday evening. He described Ms Doherty as a selfless woman who gave much to others and extended sympathies to her children and relatives.
