Child suspects in court after riots

13 September 2005

A TOTAL of 18 people arrested in Belfast over the weekend appeared at the Magistrates Court yesterday on a variety of charges.

Most of the 14 men and four juveniles were remanded in custody on charges of riotous assembly, riotous behaviour, assaults on police, resisting arrest, criminal damage and possessing offensive weapons, including golf balls.

Magistrate Sarah Creanor said that in view of the continuing unrest she would not consider granting bail except where a defendant had an alternative address outside Belfast.

One man was released after he said he could live in a caravan at Castlerock, Co Londonderry.

A solicitor for another man said he was heavily intoxicated and was arrested in east Belfast after he stumbled out of a bar into a riot situation.

Two 14-year-old juveniles were dressed in police-issue boiler suits after their clothes were taken for forensic examination.

Before being remanded in custody to a Youth Justice Centre they hugged and kissed their mothers.

Meanwhile, three people were remanded in custody yesterday correct in connection with disturbances which erupted in Ballymena on Sunday morning in the aftermath of the re-routing of Saturday's Whiterock Orange Order parade.

They are Jason Raymond Kirk (31), of Alfred Street Place, and Stuart Kevin Brown (26), from Brooke Park - both in the Harryville area of Ballymena.

A 17-year-old youth, who cannot be named because of his age, also appeared at the sitting in Coleraine Courthouse.

They each faced a charge of riotous assembly with others and were remanded in custody.

Kirk was further charged with obstructing police and the 17-year-old faced a second charge of resisting police.

All three are due to appear via video link at Ballymena Magistrates Court on Thursday.
