Charges centre on acquisition and movements of Ford Fiesta car which police contend was part of the attempt to kill the senior detective
Three men have been remanded into custody after appearing in court on charges in connection with the attempted murder of Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell.
Appearing via videolink, Tony Slevin, 47, of Derryloughan Avenue, Coalisland, was charged with preparation of terrorist acts. Police contend two blue Ford Fiesta cars were involved in the operation around the attempted murder of Mr Caldwell. One transported the gunmen from the scene and was later found burned out. The second Fiesta was also found burned out at a later date.
District Judge Michael Ranaghan rose to consider the arguments. After returning, he described having heard about a “complex and intricate police investigation” which “encompasses numerous strands of evidence”. He said his decision was based on the nature of the alleged offences and a risk of further offending. An application for bail for Mr Gallagher is set to be made next week.
