A 66-YEAR-OLD MAN, arrested on Tuesday in connection with the deaths of three women in Dromore, Co Down, over the past 11 years has tonight been charged with two counts of murder.
He is due to appear at Armagh Magistrates Court in the morning charged with killing 47-year-old Michelle Bickerstaff in April of last year and 50-year-old Margaret Weise in August 2007.
He has also been charged with a number of other serious offences.
Officers are preparing a file for the Northern Ireland Public Prosecution Service in relation to the death of Elizabeth McKee (52) in December 2002, according to a PSNI spokesperson.
The man was arrested in the quiet market town on Tuesday morning, and officers were granted more time to interview him yesterday.
Since his arrest, the man’s house in Dromore has been painted with graffiti.
Police continue to appeal to the community in the area for more information about the deaths.

No one will do anything. Until they actually launch an armed ICBM.
@John Shea Hen: they’ll do nuttin
Well if that isn’t giving you the middle finger, Mr President, I don’t know what is.
The neighbours will be fairly miffed again at President Trump coming back to Mar-a-Lago so soon…
It’s a pity that the US doesn’t have more to say about Syria after the recent sarin attack on civilians and children. The Assad regime has crossed the red lines and has to be stopped.
@Chris Kirk: and you’re certain the assad regime carried out this alleged chemical attack?
And the next lesson for the Trump admin.
You’ll do fu(kin nuttin
Hey AFP. Susan Rice Susan Rice Susan Rice Susan Rice..
Hey raymond grehan: LOL LOL LOL LOL
After months of eschewing confidential security briefs Trump has been landed in the midst of an escalating crisis. His recent response to the gas attack in Syria by blaming Obama shows how unfit he is to be leading the USA. Undoubtedly he is ready to lash out at North Korea and my guess is it will be an attempt to wipe out from the air the whole military infrastructure of that country. Great if it works amd spares the lifes of an already suffering population. Bad news if it only does partial damage. A wounded wild animal is a very dangerous thing.
@gowfc@yahoo.com W: What about China? That’s the end game I’m sure.
Trump is gearing up for a war, but I don’t think the rewards here outweigh the risks…. It’ll probably be Iran in a few years, possibly his second term.
So which would be better? “Unpredictable consequences” of regime collapse in a) a scenario where NoKo does not have the capability to hit US and Western targets or b) a scenario where it does?
Answers scribbled on the margins of a copy of Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road” perhaps. …
Just wait until the North Korean People’s Liberation Front and the North Korean Liberation Front of The People hear about this!
Trump needs a war or two so he can pretend to be a strong president- he won’t get that by using his brains
have your say
