Derry Court
A man who appeared on 'extremely serious' domestic abuse offences has been released on bail on condition he does not enter the city of Derry.
Karl Lydon (36) of Rockmills in Derry appeared at the local Magistrate's Court today.
He was charged with assaulting a female occasioning her actual bodily harm on October 29.
He was also charged with possessing an offensive weapon namely a piece of wood, criminal damage to a phone, threats to kill and a course of action deemed to be domestic abuse on the same date and against the same female.
A police officer connected the accused to the charges and defence solicitor Seamus Quigley said bail had been agreed subject to certain conditions.
Mr Quigley said that several addresses had been put forward but one was in England and the other was outside the jurisdiction.
The police officer said that while the offences were 'serious' bail would be agreed to an address approved by the PSNI, no contact with the alleged injured party, not to enter Derry and a cash surety of £1,000.
Lydon will appear again on November 27.
