Wayne Reid: Police issue fresh appeal over 43-year-old's murder in Coleraine
Officers investigating the murder of Wayne Reid in Coleraine have issued a fresh appeal for information.
The latest appeal for information comes after officers carried out searches in the Society Street and Society Court areas of Coleraine on Wednesday morning.
Detective Chief Inspector Hazel Miller said: “Over one week ago, on Monday 12 January, 43-year-old Wayne Reid was pronounced dead in an address in the Society Court area of Coleraine.
“I believe that Wayne was assaulted at an address in Society Street in the early hours of Saturday 10 January and later died as a result of injuries sustained during this attack.”
Detective Chief Inspector Miller continued: “My thoughts remain with Wayne’s family and loved ones at this unimaginably difficult time. Members of the local community have also been left shaken by the tragic event.
“Our investigation is ongoing, and local people will see a continued police presence in the area as we carry out enquiries.
“I’m keen to reiterate my appeal for anyone with information to contact detectives on 101, quoting reference 552 of 12/01/26. I am particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed the attack, or who may have spoken to Wayne in the period following the attack.”
