Two men arrested by detectives from the PSNI’s Serious Crime Branch, who are assisting colleagues in An Garda Síochána with the investigation into the serious assault of a man in his 20s in Lifford, County Donegal, have been bailed pending further enquiries.
The two men were arrested by police in Derry on Wednesday.
Charles Dooher was left for dead when he was set upon by a masked gang wielding weapons at his home on Conneyburrow Road.
Mr Dooher, who is in his mid-20s, underwent emergency life-saving surgery at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. He was airlifted from the scene in Lifford.
His father, Charles Dooher senior, who is in his 60s, also suffered injuries in the brutal attack. He was taken to Letterkenny University Hospital for treatment of injuries which were said to be “less serious”.
