Owen Creaney murder: Pair charged over body in wheelie bin | |
(about 7 hours later) | |
A man and woman have been remanded in custody charged with murdering a man whose body was found in a wheelie bin. | |
Police said "frail and vulnerable" Lurgan man Owen Creaney, 40, died after a "serious and sustained attack". | |
Stephen Hughes, 27, of Moyraverty Court, Craigavon, and Shauneen Boyle, 23, of Edenderry Park, Banbridge, appeared in court on Tuesday. | |
The court heard that, during police interviews, each claimed the other was responsible for the killing. | |
The attack happened on Wednesday night, but his body was not found until Saturday evening. | |
The bin containing Mr Creaney's body was found at the porch of Mr Hughes' home. | |
A detective told the court that officers had initially failed to find Mr Creaney's body after receiving a tip-off on Saturday around lunchtime. | |
Police later returned and looked in the bin after being given information by Ms Boyle, the detective said. | |
The judge refused bail, and both were remanded in custody to appear in court again later this month. |
