Two in court over boy's abduction

Two people will appear in court in the North today charged with child abduction after a teenage boy missing for nearly two months was found by police.

A third person, a man, was in custody being questioned about the disappearance of 14-year-old Tyrone McFall, who vanished from his home in Dungannon, Co Tyrone, at the end of November.

A 39-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman will appear at Dungannon Magistrates Court.

Another man was bailed to return at a later date.

Tyrone was found early yesterday when police mounted co-ordinated swoops on five houses in the area of Dungannon where he had been brought up.

He was found in one of the houses – his uncle’s terraced home on the Fairmount Park estate near the town centre.

Officers had been searching continuously for the teenager since he vanished.

There had been rumours on the estate that the boy was in the house but no-one admitted to having seen him.

At one stage in the police search it was thought the teenager may have been staying across the Irish border in Dundalk, Co Louth.

Social services had been involved in the hunt for Tyrone and they made arrangements for his immediate care and finding him somewhere to stay.
