Stephen Holmes: MLA ‘heartbroken’ after fatal assault involving brother

An assembly member, whose brother has been charged following a fatal assault in County Tyrone, has said he is “heartbroken beyond words” after the victim died.

Father-of-two Stephen Holmes died in hospital on Saturday, days after the attack at a home in Beechmount Village in Strabane.

On Thursday, 31-year-old Dylan McCrossan appeared before Strabane Magistrates’ Court charged in connection with the assault.

A murder investigation has since been launched following Mr Holmes’ death, with police adding that the charges were under review.
