Man (18) charged with Sheils murder
An 18-year-old Derry man appeared in court today charged with murdering Emmett Sheils in the Creggan area of the city last month.
Garry Meenan from Bishop Street, also faced firearms offences.
A detective inspector told the court he believed the defendant did not fire the shots which killed Mr Sheils (22), but was part of the gang which murdered him.
He said that during five days of questioning Meenan consistently denied the charges. Meenan was remanded in custody at Saturday's hearing held at Bishop Street Courthouse.
A court order was imposed banning photos being taken of the accused.
