Man charged in connection with membership of UDA

A 20-year-old man appeared in court today on loyalist terrorist charges linked to the flight of Johnny Adair's wife and associates from Belfast to Scotland earlier this week.

David Annesley, a painter from California Close in Belfast, was charged with membership of the outlawed Ulster Defence Association and refusing to give police information about an arrestable offence, the possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. He was remanded in custody at Belfast Magistrates Court until February 13.
