30-year-old accused of actual bodily harm, affray, and making threats to kill held in custody because his home sits within 400 yards of the alleged offences
A man has been remanded in custody at Derry Magistrate's Court as his address was said to be 'unsuitable' as it is within 400 yards of where the alleged offences occurred.
Gavin Dalzell (30) of Carlisle Road in Derry appeared charged with assaulting a man occasioning actual bodily harm on August 10, disorderly behaviour in Foyle Street and making an affray on the same date.
He was further charged with assaulting a man, making threats to kill and criminal damage to a window on July 1 this year.
A police officer connected the accused to the charges.
Defence solicitor Derwin Harvey said that the latest offences were said to have occurred in the Foyle Street area and Dalzell lived within 400 yards of that area so his address wasn't suitable.
District Judge Suzanne Rice said that the address issue was 'a serious obstacle to bail'.
The case was adjourned until August 14 to see if an address could be obtained and Dalzell was remanded in custody.
