A 34-year-old man accused of assaulting another man at Strabane Magistrates' Court has been remanded in custody.
Dungannon Magistrates' Court heard this morning that the incident came before a planned hearing for a man charged with the murder of Stephen Holmes in Strabane in 2025.
A kettle of boiling water was thrown over a man who was treated in hospital for burn injuries to his face and upper body.
The court heard this morning that the accused, Corie McKenna, of Sheskin Park in Greysteel, denies the assault charges.
The court heard he has been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, maliciously attempting to cause grievous bodily harm to a victim and possession of an offensive weapon with intent, namely a kettle of boiling water.
Asked if he understood the charges, Mr McKenna responded: "Yes, I do."
The case is next to be mentioned at Dungannon Magistrates' Court on 13 May.
