Two Men Charged After Double Stabbing In Coleraine

Two men have been charged in relation to a stabbing incident last month in County L'Derry.

The suspects, aged 18 and 22, are accused of withholding information and obstruction.

Two women, both aged 22, were attacked while walking close to Beresford Avenue in Coleraine at around 11.25pm on Sunday 13 January.

They both required treatment in hospital for their injuries.

Both men are due to appear at Coleraine Magistrates Court next month.

A 17-year-old was charged with the attempted murder of both young women and remanded in custody in January.
