A 28-year-old man appeared in court today charged with the murder of a man in South Belfast earlier this week.
Chef Neil Wilson, of Orchard Mews, denies murdering Shane Cunningham last Tuesday, Newtownards Magistrates' Court was told.
Mr Cunningham was found dead at his family home in Woodbreda Park.
The stonemason had been brought up in the house with his three brothers but had moved away and lived at Rossdale Gardens in the Four Winds area of the city.
Mr Wilson appeared in the dock with his hands handcuffed together and guarded by two armed police. He spoke only to confirm his name.
A detective inspector told the court that the accused had denied murder but admitted being involved in an altercation with Mr Cunningham.
He was remanded in custody to appear at the same court via video link on August 8th.
