Detectives investigating a street fight that resulted in the death of a man in Enniskillen have charged two males with a series of offences.

A 15-year-old boy and a 24-year-old man were detained on Monday for questioning about the altercation in which John Paul McDonagh was fatally injured.

Mr McDonagh, 18, died in hospital last Monday, two days after the incident in the Coolcullen Meadow area of the town.

He was injured when a group of males armed with weapons clashed in the street.

A 29-year-old man has already appeared in court charged with Mr McDonagh's murder.

The two suspects who were detained in the Enniskillen area on Monday morning were charged with several offences, including affray, wounding with intent and possession of an offensive weapon.

Both are due to appear by video-link at Omagh Magistrates' Court, sitting in Dungannon, on Tuesday.
