Two men have been charged in connection with the attempted murder of a senior detective in Northern Ireland two-and-a-half years ago.

PSNI Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell was shot multiple times at a sports complex in Omagh, Co Tyrone, in February 2023.

The charges follow their arrests and subsequent detention under the Terrorism Act.

A 45-year-old man, arrested in the Stewartstown area and a man aged 25, arrested in west Belfast, have both been charged with the Preparation of Terrorist Acts and Perverting the Course of Justice.

They are due to appear at Dungannon Magistrates’ Court.
