PSNI warns of East Belfast delays after multi-vehicle crash

Emergency services are at the scene of a crash in East Belfast on Friday afternoon.

In a police appeal issued shortly after the crash, motorists are advised to avoid the area of the two-vehicle collision on the Knock Road.

The incident happened at the junction with Shandon Park and has led to heavy tailbacks.

A PSNI spokesperson added: "Please proceed with caution or seek alternate routes if possible."

In other news, Crimestoppers is offering a reward of £20,000 for information on the murder of Martin Gavin.

The 47-year-old died on February 6 after a 'stabbing' incident in North Belfast four weeks prior.

PSNI Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell said: “Martin Gavin was taken to hospital on the morning of Friday 7 January, after being stabbed in a house in North Belfast’s Harcourt Drive.

“He sadly passed away some four weeks later, on the morning of Sunday 6 February.

“Mr Gavin’s life, at just 47-years-old, has been cut short, and a family have been left bereft.

“A murder investigation has been launched and, today, I am appealing to anyone with information to do the right thing and come forward.

“Were you in the Harcourt Drive area in the early hours of Friday January 7? Did you see or hear a disturbance or anyone acting suspiciously? If you have any information, or if you’ve captured dash cam footage, please contact us on 101 quoting reference number 188 of 07/01/22."
