DCI Caldwell probe: Three men charged to Derry court

Detectives investigating the attempted murder of Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell in Omagh in February have charged three men in connection with the claim of responsibility made following the attack.

The men, aged 23, 25 and 36, who were arrested in Derry on Thursday, have been charged with possessing articles for use in terrorism.

All three are expected to appear before Derry Magistrates Court today, Friday, July 7, for a first remand hearing.

As is usual procedure, all charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service.

It brings to 13 the number of people charged in connection with the attempted murder bid investigation.

The New IRA claimed responsibility for the murder bid by placing a statement on a wall in Derry days after the almost fatal gun attack.
