Stephen Holmes death: Man to be charged in court with his murder

A man is expected to be charged with murder in court following the death of a man who was the victim of a serious assault in Co Tyrone earlier this month.

Stephen Holmes died in hospital at the weekend after the incident in the Beechmount Village area of Strabane on February 3.

Dylan McCrossan, 31, previously appeared before court last Thursday, charged with grievous bodily harm with intent and was remanded in custody to Maghaberry Prison.

Following his remand, Mr Holmes subsequently died in hospital with police saying the charged would be reviewed.

On Wednesday, police said the charges have since been reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service.

The 31-year-old is expected to be charged with murder during an appearance before Strabane Magistrates’ Court on Thursday.
