They found the body of Mr McConville on the bathroom floor of the house, which is in a rural area.
He had suffered serious head injuries, believed to have been caused by a weapon.
Mr McConville was a farmer who has been described as a quiet man who kept to himself and had no immediate family in the area.
Pete Byrne, an SDLP councillor in the area who spoke to Mr McConville last week, said there is a real sense of shock in the area.
"He was a quiet, softly spoken big man who didn't go out much," he said. "No one can quite believe what has happened."
Sinn Féin councillor Aoife Finnegan urged anyone within the local community with information about what happened to contact the police.
She said Mc McConville was "a very quiet man, I believe".
"It's just a shock to the local community here obviously to hear of his passing, and I suppose now that a murder investigation has been launched, it only compounds that shock in the community."
There was still a police presence at the house today as forensic officers continued their investigations.
PSNI Detective Chief Inspector Anthony Kelly appealed to anyone with information which could assist the police investigation to contact detectives on 101, quoting reference 1435 15/06/24.
