Teen charged with murder of Seamus Fox

A teenager has been charged with murder tonight by detectives investigating the death of a grandfather in Belfast.

Seamus Fox, 58, was wearing a Donegal Celtic soccer top when he was found dead with severe head and facial injuries on waste ground close to Woodbourne police station in west Belfast.

He had been on his way home after playing darts with a friend and was within sight of his home in Horn Drive, off the Suffolk Road, when he was attacked.

The 18-year-old suspect will appear at Belfast Laganside Courts tomorrow morning.
