A teenager was due in court in Belfast this morning charged with the murder of a grandfather just yards from a police station.

Seamus Fox (58) was wearing a Donegal Celtic soccer top when he was found dead with severe head and facial injuries on waste ground close to Woodbourne police station in west Belfast.

He had been on his way home after playing darts with a friend and was within sight of his home in Horn

Drive, off the Suffolk Road, when he was attacked.

It is believed a group of youths were in the area at the time and neighbours had previously complained of anti-social behaviour.

The 18-year-old suspect will appear at Belfast Laganside Courts this morning.
