Police investigating the deaths of three teenagers in a crush at a St Patrick's Day party in Cookstown Co. Tyrone say there could have easily been more deaths.

Lauren Bullock and Morgan Barnard, who were both 17, and 16-year-old Conor Currie died in the tragedy.

It happened at the Greenvale Hotel in Cookstown on Sunday night.

Officers say up to 400 people were in the queue or in the car park at the time.

Investigators have spoken to over 160 witnesses so far and are examining CCTV footage.

Counselling is being offered at the teenager's schools - to help fellow pupils come to terms with what's happened.
