Boy (16) charged with murder and attempted murders after Dungannon attack

He is due to appear before Omagh Magistrates’ Court today.

A 16-YEAR-OLD BOY has been charged with the murder of a man in Co Tyrone. 

The teenager has also been charged with two counts of attempted murder and threats to kill following the incident at a house in the Lisnahull Road area of Dungannon on Saturday. 

He is due to appear before Omagh Magistrates’ Court later today. 

“As is usual procedure, all charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service,” a PSNI spokesperson said. 

Emergency services attended the scene at around 10.55am on Saturday after the PSNI received a report from a member of the public of an ongoing disturbance.

The body of a 61-year-old man was discovered at the scene.

A 48-year-old woman, the victim’s wife, sustained non-life threatening injuries during the incident. An eight-year-old girl, the couple’s daughter, was discovered with severe injuries.

The girl had been in a critical condition in hospital, but police on Monday said she was now in a stable condition after the “quick-thinking actions” of officers gave her “a fighting chance of survival”.
