During the preliminary inquiry into the case, counsel for the defendants accepted there was a prima facie case to answer.

When asked, both men said they did not wish to call any witnesses or present any evidence at this stage in the case.

Both Hyndman and Magee were released on their own bail of £500 to reside at their given addresses.

They will return to Londonderry Magistrate’s Court on March 8, for arraignment.
