Separate murder investigations begin after the deaths of two women - one in a car crash in Fermanagh, the other at a flat in Belfast.

The police have begun SEPARATE murder investigations following the deaths of two women: one in Belfast last Friday and the other in Fermanagh late on Saturday night. That woman was 23-year-old Natasha Carruthers - the mother of a one-year-old baby - who was killed in a crash in Derrylin during a night out with friends. Natasha, who was from Letterbreen - was buried yesterday afternoon.

A local man who has a rare genetic condition called Huntington's Disease says it's outrageous that he can't be seen by Northern Ireland's only specialist nurse because of where he lives. Simon Clark, from Strathfoyle, was diagnosed in 2003 with the condition which attacks nerve cells in the brain, and affects movement and thinking. But the specialist nurse only provides care and support to people who live within the Belfast and South Eastern Health Trusts. Simon is cared for by his 23 year-old daughter Laura who's also been told she has a 50 per cent chance of inheriting the condition. They've been speaking to our reporter Lauren Millar.
