Man arrested over deaths of three former girlfriends
A man has been arrested over the deaths of three of his former girlfriends, all of whom died in the same rural town in Northern Ireland between 2002 and 2012.
The 66-year-old was held in Dromore, County Down, in relation to the deaths of Michelle Bickerstaff, 47, in April last year; Margaret Weise, 50, in August 2007 and Elizabeth McKee, 52, in December 2002.
All three died in suspicious circumstances but the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has not described their deaths as murders.
