Father and son remanded in custody over Devlin murder
A father and son have been remanded in custody at Belfast Magistrates Court charged with the murder of father of six, Gerard Devlin on Friday.
Christopher Notarantonio, 53, and William Notarantanio, 21, both of Whitecliff Parade are also charged with affray.
There was a heavy police presence in the courtroom during the brief appearance and the magistrate warned the crowded public gallery that he would not tolerate any disturbance.
Mr Devlin was fatally stabbed during an incident at Whitecliff Parade, in Ballymurphy, West Belfast.
The stabbing is believed to be the result of an ongoing feud with another family in the area, which had forced Mr Devlin to move away.
The victim is believed to have returned to Whitecliff Parade to collect his children when he was killed.
Meanwhile, police in West Belfast are investigating a link between the murder and a number of overnight arson attacks in the area.
In one incident, a house in Ballymurphy Parade, was badly damaged by a by a petrol bomb, which was thrown at around midnight, and a short time later, a vehicle at nearby Rock Grove was set on fire.
