Woman charged with teenager's murder
A Newtownabbey woman has been remanded in custody charged with the murder of a 16-year-old youth in Belfast on Tuesday.
The woman 32-year-old Alison Abigail McKeown, whose address was withheld by order of the court, is accused of murdering Protestant teenager, Thomas McDonald.
The youth was knocked off his bicycle by a car near to his home in the Whitwell Road on Tuesday.
Ms McKeown made no reply when charged. As she was leaving the dock, the dead boy’s father lunged at her from his seat in the public gallery and shouted. Police officers stepped in to restrain him.
A 15-year-old boy and 20-year-old Patrick Michael Auld, whose address was also withheld by the order of the court, were charged with intent to pervert the course of justice by making an untruthful statement to police officers. Both were remanded in custody. (SP)
