Some members of the public shouted abuse and tried to lunge towards the former DUP leader as he left the building this afternoon. The police surrounded Sir Jeffrey who briefly re-entered the court building before leaving a second time and departing in a car.
The pair were released on continuing bail when they made their first appearance at Newry Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday. His wife, Eleanor Mary Elizabeth Donaldson, 58, of Dublinhill Road, Dromore, faces charges of aiding and abetting in connection with the alleged offences.
