“A post-mortem has since been held and, due to subsequent information that we have received, we have opened a murder inquiry to establish how this man died.
“This evening, Saturday December 14, we carried out a number of searches in Portadown area where we arrested two men, aged 18 and 24, on suspicion of murder as part of our investigation.
“They both remain in custody tonight where they are assisting us with our inquiries.
“I want to appeal to anyone who was in the Clounagh Park area between 10.30pm on Sunday, December 8 and 9.45am on Monday, December 9 to think back if they saw anything out of the ordinary. You may have seen people in Clounagh Park acting suspiciously.
