Derry woman remanded on assault charges

A woman has appeared at Derry Magistrates Court charged with assault and attempted criminal damage.

Lauren McLaughlin (37) of Olive Terrace in Derry was charged with two counts of assault and one count of attempted criminal damage to a flower pot on August 20 with the offences aggravated by domestic abuse.

McLaughlin was also in breach of previous bail conditions that stated she was not to have any contact with the alleged injured party.

Bail was not applied for due to no suitable address being available so she was remanded in custody and will appear again on September 11.
