A 31-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the murder of Odhr谩n Kelly in County Armagh.

Gary Damien Scullion, from Edward Street in Lurgan, appeared at Craigavon Magistrates' Court on Friday.

When asked if he understood the charge, he replied "yeah".

The body of the 23-year-old was found beside a burning car in Maple Court, close to Edward Street, in the early hours of Sunday.

There was no application for bail and the defendant was remanded in custody until January.

Relatives of Odhr谩n Kelly wept in court as the case was being heard.

On Thursday, two women appeared in court charged with assisting an offender by helping with "the disposal of the body of Odhr谩n Kelly".

Andrea Catherine Theresa Stevenson, 43, from Edward Street in Lurgan and 36-year-old Stephanie McClelland, from Shan Slieve in the town were remanded in custody and are due to appear in court again later this month.

Another 31-year-old man remains in police custody.

In Lurgan, Odhr谩n Kelly is being remembered as a cherished member of his family and as a valued member of the community.

He worked at Craigavon Area Hospital where friends say he was a funny and caring colleague.
