Two people arrested as part of the investigation into the disappearance and murder of Lisa Dorrian have been released.

The 25-year-old, from Bangor in Co Down, was last seen alive on 27 February 2005 after attending a party at Ballyhalbert Caravan Park.

Police believe that she was murdered that night or in the early hours of the following morning.

Yesterday, a 40-year-old woman was arrested in Bangor, Co Down, and a 42-year-old man was arrested in Scotland.

They were both detained on suspicion of murder, assisting offenders, withholding information and preventing a lawful and decent burial.

The PSNI said that both had been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

In a statement, the force said that detectives "remain determined to provide justice for Lisa’s family".

The PSNI appealed "to anyone with information about her disappearance and murder to contact them".
