Teens bailed on pub fight charges

Two teenagers charged with attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm over a fight outside a Castlewellan pub have been released on bail.

Aaron Campbell, 18, Harmony Park, Drumaness and Owen Wright, 19, Glenwood Court, Dunmurry were freed on High Court bail.

The court heard a man was on life support after suffering a brain injury when a group of friends fell out.

It was alleged that the trouble was fuelled by alcohol.

The bail application was opposed by the prosecution authorities. Another man appeared in court in connection with the attack on Thursday.

The 28-year-old man has had to undergo two brain operations to reduce swelling at the Royal Victoria Hospital.

His 18-year-old brother was also attacked during the incident.
