A 35-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder yesterday in connection with the death has been released this morning with no further action.

Trained officers are speaking to relatives, neighbours and those who knew him in order to paint a picture of his life and any possible motives for the murder. It has now been confirmed that Andrew died as a result of smoke inhalation and that the fire started in the downstairs of the property. Superintendent Peter McPhillips said: “Andrew Simon was a father of three children, he was a son and a brother and we are determined to bring the person responsible for his murder to justice. Family liaison officers are supporting relatives and my thoughts are with Andrew’s family.
