(about 6 hours later)
Two people are to appear in court charged with the murder of County Down pensioner Annie McCartan. The son and daughter-in-law of a Warrenpoint pensioner stabbed to death in June have been charged with murder.
The 75-year-old was found beaten and stabbed to death at her Summer Hill home in Warrenpoint on 15 June. David McCartan, 35, and his wife Geraldine McCartan, 34, of Rossmara Park in Warrenpoint are accused of killing 75-year-old Annie McCartan.
Her murder was featured two weeks ago in a BBC Crimewatch reconstruction of the pensioner's last known movements. She was beaten, stabbed and had her throat cut in her home at Summerhill.
A 35-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman are due to appear in court in Newry, charged with murdering her. A police officer told Newry Magistrates Court that when charged, both denied involvement. The couple were both remanded in custody.
A solicitor for Geraldine McCartan said that she had co-operated with police and asserted her innocence throughout the investigation.
David McCartan's solicitor told the court that he had also maintained his innocence.
