A man, also in his 50s, was arrested as part of the investigation.

He has since been released on bail to allow for further police enquiries.

'Devastating'

Alliance MLA Connie Egan described Ms Magill's death as "devastating for the local community".

She added that it was "devastating that another woman in Northern Ireland has lost her life".

“I was absolutely shocked to hear this news," she said.

“As an elected representative I know the area. It’s a quiet, settled area and the local community are shocked that this has happened."
