Woman appears in court on charge of attempted murder of man in Lurgan

A Co Armagh woman has appeared in court charged with the attempted murder of a man in Lurgan at the weekend.

Appearing at Lisburn Magistrates Court on Monday, Karla Hanratty, who is 25, was charged in connection to the alleged stabbing of a man on Saturday, February 21.

None of the alleged background to the incident was opened during the hearing but a police officer told the court that, being aware of the circumstances, he could connect Hanratty to the charge.

It is understood the charge arises following an incident in the Lord Lurgan Park area on Saturday where a man was taken to hospital after an alleged stabbing.

Defence solicitor Philip Reid confirmed to the court that there was no application for bail so Hanratty, whose address was listed as Derry Street in Lurgan, was remanded in custody.

District Judge Rosie Watters adjourned the case to Friday, February 27.
