Police investigating the attempted murder of two people in Co Down on Christmas Eve have found the body of a man.

Formal identification of the body will take place in due course, they said.

A man aged in his 20s and a woman aged in her 50s were taken to hospital with serious injuries after a stabbing attack in the Chippendale Avenue area of Bangor.

Police had previously said one of them was in a critical condition.

In an update on Saturday, police said that both had been discharged following treatment as they appealed for a man to contact them in relation to the attack.

Police said Jonathan Baker, 54, was last pictured in the Coniston Road area of Bangor at around 3.55pm on Christmas Eve and released a photo as part of an appeal.

Later on Saturday night, police said they had located the body of a man.
