Man refused bail in McAlorum murder case

A 24-year-old man accused of withholding information into the murder of west Belfast teenager, Megan McAlorum has been refused bail.

Charles Joseph Dundon, of no fixed address, had his bail application turned down at the High Court in Belfast on Tuesday.

Dundon appeared before Lisburn Magistrates Court last week in connection with her murder.

Megan's body was found on a desolate stretch of land, in an area of forest, half a mile from her Dunmurry home two weeks ago.

A 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared in court last weekend charged with her murder.
