Overview
- The explosion, reported around 6:30am Sunday after a 6:17am call about a domestic incident, killed a man and a woman and injured three others, including a child, with minor wounds.
- Police declared a major incident, evacuated homes to a nearby rest centre, and brought in armed officers and Army bomb-disposal teams to search the area as a precaution.
- Investigators are treating the cause as suspicious but say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with it.
- The three injured people were discharged from hospital on Monday, and searches at a linked Speedwell address have now finished, police said.
- The Sterncourt Road cordon was cut back late Sunday so most residents could go home, and officers urged people not to share unverified claims as the complex inquiry continues.
