Cawdery double murder: Accused appears in court | |
(35 minutes later) | |
A 40-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the double murder of an elderly couple in County Armagh. | |
Thomas Scott McEntee, from Moorfield Court in Kilkeel, is accused of stabbing the pensioners to death. | |
The bodies of Michael and Marjory Cawdery, both 83, were discovered by their daughter and son-in-law at their house in Upper Ramone Park in Portadown on Friday. | |
Mr McEntee is accused of entering their home armed with a knife. | |
He is also accused of stealing a chequebook and the couple's car. | |
Mr McEntee stood in the dock of Lisburn Magistrates Court with his head bowed as he listened to the charges on Tuesday. | |
A detective inspector said he could connect the accused to the charges. | |
His solicitor told the court his client has "mental health difficulties" and was under supervision in the police station. | |
No application for bail was made during the short hearing. | |
Mr McEntee was remanded into custody and will appear again in court on the 23 June. |
