A teenager arrested by police over the death of a 15-year-old county Armagh girl has been released on bail.

The 15-year-old boy was arrested by police on Tuesday afternoon.

Caitlin Shortland died in hospital on Saturday evening after she was discovered unconscious by officers at a woodland in the Corcrain area of Portadown.

A number of searches have also been carried out and a quantity of suspected ecstasy tablets have been seized.

Caitlin, who lived in Laurelvale, was a pupil at Craigavon Senior High School and was described as a popular young girl.
