His wife, who was also in the house, had sustained serious head injuries from the same incident.

“As part of our enquiries, I am particularly keen to locate a black holdall. I’ve now released an image, which appears to show the defendant carry the bag onto a bus on the evening of 17 March 2024. The bus, headed for Kilkeel, is boarded in Newry at 5.07pm. The fact that this was St Patrick’s Day may help jog memories. If you have any information that could help us to locate this holdall, please contact our officers on 101.
