Gunshots killed Glenarm men Arthur Gibson and Michael Murphy.

Post-mortem examinations have revealed that the two men who were found dead on a farm in Glenarm in County Antrim on Friday died from gunshot wounds.

Sixty-one-year-old Arthur Gibson and 37-year-old Michael Murphy were found dead at Mr Gibson's farm on the Feystown Road on Friday night.


Police have said they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths of Mr Gibson and Mr Murphy.

A gun was recovered from the scene. Mr Gibson lived alone on the farm.

Mr Murphy worked for him. He lived in Glenarm village with his partner and four children.

Shock
Stephen Montgomery, a neighbour of Mr Gibson, said: "Art, obviously a very close neighbour of ours, was very well respected in the farming community for his knowledge of farming and has done a lot of work in the area, to the grounds and stuff.

"It's just a shock, it's a real tragedy for the village.

"I did know both men, Michael's children go to the school where my wife works and Art would be back and forward all the time around the farm - he's a good neighbour."
