“Up until last weekend he has been residing at Praxis accommodation in Portadown. There was an incident involving staff over the weekend and he is currently living with his mother.”

District Judge Paul Copeland said: “I am going to need a report in this case due to his record.”

Killen was released on bail to appear on February 25 for sentencing.
