“The family are all keen cyclists and it is such a shock that David has passed away, on behalf of everyone of the Borough I sympathise with the Helliwells at this time. I would echo the calls by the local PSNI for anyone who may have been in the vicinity of Drumnamether Road Tandragee to contact the Police and assist them with their inquiries.”
