A man who appeared on 'extremely serious' domestic abuse offences has been released on bail on condition he does not enter the city of Derry.

He was also charged with possessing an offensive weapon namely a piece of wood, criminal damage to a phone,  threats to kill and a course of action deemed to be domestic abuse on the same date and against the same female. 

A police officer connected the accused to the charges and defence solicitor Seamus Quigley said bail had been agreed subject to certain conditions.
