It is believed that the incident may have been a hit and run and the PSNI say they are keen to trace the last movements of Michael on the night of Saturday, 22 August and the early hours of Sunday, 23 August.

Detective Inspector Michael Winters has stated that a 35 year old man presented himself to police yesterday evening and he was subsequently arrested on suspicion of a number of offences and remains in custody at this time.

The PSNI has issued an appeal for anyone with information to come forward.

They are particularly interested in tracing the movements of a blue Audi 6, as well as gathering information on whether anyone saw Mr. Kirk walking on the Blayney Road or through Crossmaglen on the dates in question.

Anyone with dashcam footage or anything that could assist with these inquiries is asked to call the non-emergency number 101, and quote reference number 515.
