A second man is being questioned about the murder of Martha Gilmore (86), who was found dead with head injuries' in her home at Greenisland, Co Antrim, on Sunday.

The disclosure was made in the Belfast High Court yesterday during a bail application by Mr Brian Watson (29), from Greenisland, who is accused of withholding information. Another man was charged with the murder on Tuesday.

Mr Justice Higgins released Mr Watson on £2,000 hail and ordered him to report to the police twice a week.
