A 30-year-old woman has been charged by detectives investigating the death of a man in Bangor, County Down, last weekend.

31-year-old Stephen Davidson was found dead at his house in Ballyholme Road on Sunday evening.

The woman faces charges of conspiring to pervert the course of justice and assisting offenders, as well as having a Class A drug with intent to supply.

Two men aged 49 and 40 and a 61-year-old woman are also in custody in connection with the death.

It has been revealed by police that Mr Davidson died as a result of a violent struggle.

The woman is due to appear at Newtownards Magistrates Court later on Thursday.
