Two people are still being questioned about the murder of a man whose body was found concealed in a bin in County Armagh.
The body of Owen Creaney, 40, from Victoria Place in Lurgan, was found in Moyraverty Court in Craigavon on Saturday evening.
Police said Mr Creaney, who was disabled and used a walking aid, had been the victim of a sustained assault.
A 23-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man have been arrested.
On Sunday, police said they believed Mr Creaney had been assaulted and had appeared to survive, but died some time later.
Police said Mr Creaney's body was found in a wheelie bin in the porch at the back of the house in which a 27-year-old man lived.
'Frail and vulnerable'Det Ch Insp Richard Campbell said: "I would hope that the community would be rightly disgusted by the attempt to conceal Owen's body after this brutal murder.
"Owen was 40. In fact, he celebrated his 40th birthday last Saturday, 28 June. He was a frail and vulnerable man. Although he was only 40, he had significant mobility issues which meant he required the aid of a walking frame or stick to get about.
"I think it is important for the community to reject this violent assault on Owen and contact police with any information which they have."
Neighbours told the BBC he had only moved into the area three weeks ago and they believed his body may have been there for a number of days.

Police have appealed for anyone who saw anything suspicious around Moyraverty Court between Wednesday and Saturday afternoon to contact them.
