Two brothers from Lurgan have admitted their roles in intimidating a woman from her home in County Armagh.

Danielle Skelton said she was advised by police to leave after the incident which was recorded on a doorbell camera in April 2023.

Adrian Douglas, 34, of Carrick Drive, admitted an intimidation charge, while Alister Douglas, 37, of Charles Baron Gardens, admitted aiding and abetting his brother.

They were released on continuing bail.

Ms Skelton's doorbell camera captured footage of the men shouting "Fenian" and "taig", both derogatory terms referring to Catholics, as well as hammering and kicking the door.

On spotting the doorbell camera, one of them tried to prise it off the door frame.

Craigavon Crown Court heard a further charge of trying to damage the doorbell would be left on the books.

In an interview with ´óÏó´«Ã½ News last year, Ms Skelton said she saw the door shake and ran to her bedroom in shock.

She said she had moved into a largely-Protestant area of Lurgan after being offered social housing.

"I just felt sick. I couldn't watch it. I just didn't understand," Ms Skelton explained.

"I put thousands into that home. I made it a proper home for me and my son."

Adrian and Alister Douglas also admitted a charge of attempting to cause criminal damage to a front door.

It was agreed that sentencing should be adjourned until the Probation Board have complied pre-sentence reports.

Freeing the brothers on continuing bail, Judge Patrick Lynch KC said he would deal with the case again on 8 March.
