'Man named attackers in call to friends'

A MURDERED man revealed the names of those who attacked him in calls made before his death, a court has heard.

- 

Wayne Reid, 43, told friends that Darrell Joseph Shaw, 33, was one of those who assaulted him inside a flat in Coleraine, Co Derry, in the early hours of Saturday, January 10.

Forensic tests have also identified Mr Reid’s blood on a jacket owned by Shaw, Derry magistrates heard.

Shaw, from Belfast but of no fixed abode, appeared in court yesterday accused of the father-of-one’s murder, which he denies.

Mr Reid died on January 12 due to a spleen injury from blunt-force trauma, a postmortem found.
