Man is due in court after death Witnesses 'in fear' court hears
(about 2 hours later)
A man is to appear in court charged over the death of a man whose body was found close to the Glenshane Pass in County Londonderry last week. Some people are afraid to come forward with information about the death of a man in County Londonderry, a police officer has told a court.
The 29-year-old has been charged with false imprisonment and is to appear at Derry Magistrates Court. Gregory Woods, 41, from Castledawson, was found dead in a forest off the Glenshane Road last Tuesday.
Gregory Woods, 41, from Castledawson, was found in a forest off the Glenshane Road last Tuesday. Dean Porter, 39, from Ballynahone Road in Maghera faces a manslaughter charge.
Two other men are being questioned about the death. One was arrested on Saturday, the other on Thursday. Niall Regan, 29, from Largantogher Park in Maghera is charged with false imprisonment. Both men deny the charges and have been remanded in custody.
It is understood a search for Mr Woods was launched last Monday night after his family contacted police. A detective sergeant agreed with Mr Porter's solicitor that he had given an account of his actions to police.
Police revisited the scene on Sunday night to appeal for information about Mr Woods' death. However, he opposed bail as he feared Mr Porter would commit further offences, he believed witnesses would be interfered with and there were high tensions in the area.
He suggested the defendant could also be at risk.
A solicitor for Niall Regan said Mr Regan had actually alerted police and told them of his concerns about Gregory Woods who lived at Riverside Gardens.
Opposing bail, the detective sergeant said he was concerned about the defendant committing further offences or absconding.
Two witnesses were in fear and others were reluctant to come forward, the court heard.
Solicitors for both men argued they should be granted bail. But they were remanded in custody until 4 March.
