Irishman questioned over girlfriend's Gran Canaria fall

A Belfast man is being questioned by a judge in Gran Canaria about what happened before his 29-year-old girlfriend plunged five floors from their holiday apartment.

Karen Pelin is in a critical condition in hospital on the island.

She suffered multiple fractures, a ruptured liver and other internal injuries in the fall.

The judge will decide whether to remand 36-year-old Hugh McCormick in custody to await trial or allow his release.
