Natalie McNally was found dead in a house in Silverwood Green

A man who was arrested on suspicion of murder after the death of a woman in County Armagh has been released on bail pending further inquiries.

Natalie McNally, 32, was pronounced dead at a house in Silverwood Green in Lurgan on Monday night.

Police were called to the house just after 22:00 GMT.

The cause of her death has not yet been confirmed but detectives had earlier said they were treating it as "suspicious".

Police said the investigation was "at an early stage" and they appealed for witnesses to come forward.

Dt Ch Insp John Caldwell said he wanted to establish Ms McNally's movements between 16:00 on Sunday and 22:00 on Monday.

Social Democratic and Labour Party councillor Declan McAlinden said his thoughts were with the woman's family, who were dealing with a "devastating loss".

He added: "She came from a well known and highly respected family in the wider Lurgan and Craigavon area and I can't begin to imagine what they are going through at this difficult time.

"I know many of the woman's family members and my heart goes out to them. I have no doubt the local community will rally around them as they come to terms with what's happened."  

In a tweet SDLP councillor, Séamas de Faoite said he knew Ms McNally and couldn't believe what had happened.

"The last time I got a good chat with Natalie she was heading home with her parents from Belfast Pride.

"She was so happy and buzzing after having an amazing day.

"I'm in disbelief."
