A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of Stephen Brannigan and the attempted murder of a priest in Co Down. Hugh Malone, 30, of no fixed address but from the Belfast area, appeared via videolink from Musgrave police station at Newtownards Magistrates' Court on Wednesday. The body of Mr Brannigan, 56, was found in a house in Marian Park in Downpatrick on Sunday afternoon. On the same day, Father John Murray was attacked at St Patrick's Church in the town. No details of the incident were given during the brief court hearing. Malone was wearing a grey sweatshirt and confirmed that he understood the charges against him. A Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) detective chief inspector told the court that she could connect Malone to the charges. A defence solicitor asked the officer to confirm that his client had had an appropriate adult or intermediary with him during police interviews. The lawyer said there was a 'significant mental health context' to the case. No application for bail was made and deputy district judge Peter Prenter remanded Malone in custody until September 4.
