By Jonnel Benjamin

84-year-old Louisa Denby was found dead in her home at Prospect Mount on Monday 1 July.

Murdered Louisa Denby


A relative of the elderly women remained in custody over night after he was arrested on suspicion of murder of Ms Denby and the attempted murder of a nine-year-old boy.

A second 26-year-old was arrested in connection with the murder of Louisa Denby while three men aged 18, 24 and 29 were arrested in connection with the stabbing in the skate park.

Police have now released the 24-year-old man without charge.

Within ten minutes of the stabbing of the young boy on Monday, an eight-year-old girl was also chased through her garden by a man matching a suspect's description.

The man reportedly fled when she ran screaming into her house on Prospect Grove, not far from the skate park. She was not hurt.

The young boy who was stabbed in the Carnegie Skate Park remains in a stable condition in hospital.
