A man charged with the murder of journalist Lyra McKee is accused of picking up casings from the bullets used to kill her, a court has heard.

There were scuffles outside Londonderry Magistrates’ Court between police and supporters of Paul McIntyre (pictured) today. The 52-year-old was remanded in custody following the hearing.

McKee, 29, was shot dead by dissident republicans while observing a riot in Derry in April last year. An extremist group styling itself as the New IRA said it carried out the killing.
