Derry Magistrate's Court

A man has been remanded in custody at Derry Magistrates Court following a breach of multiple bail conditions.

Kiral McGilloway (35) of Drumbane Gardens in Derry was on bail for a number of offences, including non-fatal strangulation and assault, both of his former partner.

The breaches of bail occurred when McGilloway was reported to have breached a non-molestation order by contacting his former partner, as well as possessing a mobile phone.

On May 9, McGilloway was said to have sent a number of messages via several different social media platforms, breaching the order that had been put in place.

He was also said to have contacted her on May 20 and to have met with her on May 4, four days after initially being granted bail with a final warning.

Defence Barrister Brendan Kearney said that it had been McGilloway's former partner that had initiated contact, sending 'hundreds' of messages.

District Judge Ted Magill reiterated that he was not to have any contact with the injured party at all and denied bail, calling it a hopeless application.

He will appear again on May 29.
