Craigavon Murder Accused Appears In Court
A 20-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the murder of a 46-year-old in Craigavon last weekend.
David Neill was stabbed to death at his house in Parkmore in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Daniel McCartney, from Enniskeen, Drumgor in Craigavon, was remanded in custody at Lisburn Magistrates Court.
A PSNI detective told the court that during his time in police custody, the defendant had continually denied stabbing Mr Neill, and said he did not know anything about a knife at the scene.
The detective said the PSNI had evidence from some people saying the accused did not stab the victim, but evidence from others that he did.
Mr McCartney is due to appear in court again by videolink on October 12.
Border Staff Seize 100 Kilos Of Tobacco
Hand rolling tobacco with a potential tax revenue of £20,000 was found hidden in wooden shelving inside a shipment from China.
Customs officers later searched a private address in Belfast's Donegall Road area and arrested a man, who was later released.
John Whiting of HMRC said: "We would normally expect concealments of this standard for illegal drug imports, but this shows the lengths that criminals will go to in order to avoid paying tax."
He stressed that illegal cigarettes were not a "victimless crime" as their profits supported criminal activity.
