Man remanded at Derry court after 'end of the road' bail breach

A man was told that he had 'reached the end of the road' at Derry Magistrate's Court as he was remanded in custody for breaching bail.

Trevor Kelly (39) of Distillery Gardens, Limavady appeared charged with breaching his bail by being in the city and contacting the alleged injured party in his case.

A police officer told the court that a mobile patrol was flagged down by members of the public and told there was 'something going on' at an address.

Police attended and a man who turned out to be Kelly was seen running out the back and scaling a wall.

Bail was objected to as police believed Kelly could not abide by the simplest of conditions.

Defence solicitor Seamus Quigley said his client had struggled to get an address in the past.

He said Kelly accepted he had placed himself in an invidious position.

District Judge Suzanne Rice told Kelly he had 'very clear conditions' which he had breached and she remanded him in custody.

Kelly will appear again on August 26.
