Teen Trio Charged Over Coleraine Assault

While the victim of a brutal weekend attack remains in critical condition in hospital, a teen trio arrested by police investigating the incident yesterday have now been charged with attempted murder.

Marc Stephen Winston Graham, 18, from Loguestown Park, Coleraine, and a 16 and 17-year-old, who cannot be named, were remanded in custody.

They will reappear in court via videolink later this month.

A 29-year-old man was critically injured when he was attacked in the Bannfield Road area of the town in the early hours of Sunday.

Meanwhile, a 25-year-old was bailed on charges of grievous bodily harm with intent yesterday.

That charge is linked to an incident in the Andersonstown area of west Belfast on Monday in which a 23-year-old female was seriously assaulted.

Jamie Louise Ward, 25, of no fixed address, was arrested after a woman suffered serious head injuries in west Belfast in the early hours of Monday.
