A 16-year-old boy has been charged with murder and two counts of attempted murder after a man was killed and his wife and eight-year-old child seriously injured at a house in Dungannon on Saturday.
Detectives from the PSNI’s Major Investigation Team said the teenager has also been charged with threats to kill.
The charges follow the death of a 61-year-old man at a property in the Lisnahull Road area on Saturday, August 29.
The victim has been named locally as Sidi Djalo who was a Guinea-Bissau national but had been living and working in the area for over 20 years.
