Son Charged With Murder of Mother Marie Green In North Belfast

A 31-year-old man has been charged with the murder of his mother, 71-year-old Mary Green, also known as Marie, in the Shore Road area of north Belfast.

Marie Green was pronounced dead at a house in the early hours of Tuesday 03 June.

Lewis Green, from the Shore Road, appeared before Belfast Magistrates' Court this afternoon, Thursday 05 June. Alongside the murder charge, he has also been charged with non-fatal strangulation and common assault on another person in connection with the investigation.

According to the BBC, during a brief court hearing a detective sergeant involved in the investigation confirmed that he could connect Mr Green to the charges. No further details regarding the circumstances of the pensioner's death were disclosed at this stage.

It is understood that a defence solicitor did not cross-examine the detective or apply for bail on behalf of his client.

Mr Green was subsequently remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear again via video-link next month.

As is standard procedure, all charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service.
