| Four charged over father's murder | |
| (about 3 hours later) | |
| Four Dungannon men have been charged over the murder of a father-of-three in the County Tyrone town at the weekend. | |
| Eamonn Hughes, 48, was stabbed to death as he walked home from his daughter's 18th birthday party. | |
| Liam Murray, 21, of Windmill Court, Kevin Kinnear, 24, Windmill Drive, Kevin Toye, 22, Windmill Drive, were all charged with murder and hijacking. | |
| Kevin Murray, 39, from the Lisnahull area was charged with attempted murder. | |
| Mr Toye was also charged with two counts of grievous bodily harm at the hearing at Omagh Magistrates Court on Tuesday. | |
| A detective inspector said the police case was that the murder was a joint enterprise between all of the accused, who were all remanded in custody. | |
| He said he believed they were travelling to the Hughes' family home together in a taxi -to seek revenge fro the beating of another man. | |
| One of those accused of murder, Mr Kinnear, applied for bail. His solicitor said he had been in the taxi - but ran away from the scene. | |
| He said his client was horrified by the murder and wanted to distance himself from it. He claimed his account could be verified by CCTV pictures. | |
| The police said the CCTV footage had not been examined yet and 25 witnesses had still to be interviewed. | |
| Bail was refused and all four men were remanded in custody for three weeks. | |
