Police in the north have arrested a 31-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man in connection with the murder of a man in County Antrim this morning.

The 65 year old victim was stabbed to death during an apparent robbery on Caddy Road near Randalstown shortly after midnight.

The man's wife was also injured in the attack.
