According to the Northern Ireland police service, a person has died as a result of a car fire in County Tyron.
Officers were alerted for the incident in the RylaGh road area of Omagh on 14:05 BST on Saturday by members of the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRs).
The fire service searched the body amidst efforts to extinguish a Mitsubishi Lancer GS2 which was on fire.
Police said that they are considering the incident as arson.
Daniel McCroson, a member of the SDLP assembly, described the incident as “deeply disturbing”.
Rylagh Road, which is rural with very few houses nearby, is partially closed and forensic officers live on the spot.
Detective Inspector Cone said, “How the person has come near the vehicle is going on.”
He may have appealed to anyone between 12:00 and 14:15 on Saturday, or may have seen anything suspicious to contact them.
“We will be especially eager to hear from any person who had Dashakam or other footage and they would like to hear from anyone who have paid attention to this particular vehicle.”
West Tyron MLA Daniel McCroson said the death has “shocked the local community”.
“My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the person who has lost his life very sadly.
“It is a shocking that someone has died in such annoying circumstances. The people of the area are very worried and are looking for an answer.
“It is important that with any information – no matter how small it is – reports it to PSNI.”
