Man (26) pleads guilty to assaulting another man in Lurgan, Craigavon court hears
‘Prison is a possible outcome,’ a 28-year-old man, who pleaded guilty to assaulting another man, has been warned by a Craigavon judge.
Carlos Cande, from Kilmaine Street, Lurgan, appeared before Craigavon Magistrates Court charged with assault causing actual bodily harm, criminal damage, wounding and possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.

Cande pleaded guilty to two of the charges including assault causing actual bodily harm to a man on May 1, 2024 and criminal damage to a mobile phone belonging to the victim.
A prosecutor asked the court to dismiss the charge of wounding the same man and possession of a knife in Edward Street, Lurgan on the same date.
District Judge Michael Ranaghan dismissed the latter charges and granted Cande’s lawyer’s request for his client to benefit from a pre-sentence report.
District Judge Ranaghan said: “These are very serious charges. Prison is a possible outcome but I will give you the benefit of a pre-sentence report.”
The case was adjourned until April 9.
