Hotel owner released on bail after deaths of teenagers at St Patrick's Day disco

A hotel owner arrested on suspicion of manslaughter after three teenagers died outside a St Patrick's Day disco in Northern Ireland has been released on bail.

 

Students Lauren Bullock, 17, Connor Currie, 16, and Morgan Barnard, 17, died after a crush at the Greenvale Hotel in Cookstown, Co Tyrone, on Sunday.

 

Michael McElhatton, 52, who owns the premises, will return for "further questioning at a future date", the Police Service of Northern Ireland said.

 

He was further arrested on suspicion of possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply but fast-tracked forensic analysis swiftly ruled out the possibility, and he was subsequently de-arrested.
