A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of Colin Horner outside a Bangor supermarket last month.

Ryan Smyth, 29, from Windsor Gardens in Bangor, was also charged with possession of a firearm and ammunition with intent to endanger life.

He applied for bail but was refused during a hearing at Downpatrick Magistrates Court.

A detective told the court: "We believe the murder was part of ongoing mounting tensions within South East Antrim UDA."

Victim shot in front of son

He said the police had carried out a number of searches, but had yet to find the murder weapon.
