Christopher McDowell (34) of Glebe Avenue is currently on bail charged with the murder of Mr McDaid and the attempted murder of Damian Fleming.

Mr McDaid was killed outside his Somerset Drive home on May 23 last year.

At Friday’s sitting of North Antrim Magistrates’ Court, McDowell appeared on a disorderly behaviour charge which occurred on April 11, this year.

The case was adjourned until May 21, but a defence solicitor asked if McDowell could be excused from court on the date, as he was ‘ involved in another high profile case.’

The solicitor added that it would be ‘best’ if his client wasn’t in Coleraine.
