Police have launched a murder investigation after the bodies of three people were found in a family home in Ballymena, Co Antrim. 

The three people were related and found in the building in the Old Cullybackey Road area.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) initially said there is no ongoing risk to the public.

Later it released further information, calling on people not to speculate about what had happened.

Mid & East Antrim District Commander Superintendent William Calderwood said: "The bodies of a male and two females were discovered at a home on the Old Cullybackey Road at around 9am this morning, Monday July 13.

"The cause of death has not yet been formally established and post-mortem examinations will take place in due course.

"As such, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time, and I would ask that the public avoid speculation."

"However, I want to reassure the public that we do not believe that there is any ongoing risk, and at this stage we are not seeking anyone else in relation to the deaths," he added.

"Our thoughts this evening are very much with the family and friends of those who have died."
