A man who died after being shot in Stanley at the weekend has been named.

Officers were called to an address in Elm Street, South Moor at about 5.20pm on Saturday, April 5 following reports of a disturbance.

Barry Dawson, 60, was shot in his home and despite the best efforts of paramedics, he was sadly declared dead at the scene.

A postmortem examination was held today and revealed Mr Dawson died of a single gunshot wound.

A 37-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman who were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder on Sunday remain in police custody.

Officers are still appealing for witnesses to come forward and are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have seen a white Seat Arona in the area around the time of the incident.

The vehicle has since been found abandoned nearby in the Oxhill area and has been examined by crime scene investigators.

A cordon remains in place at the scene while enquiries continue.

Anyone with any information is asked to call Durham Constabulary on 101, or 999 in an emergency, quoting incident number 302 of April 5.

Information can also be passed on to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
