[Lurgan: Brothers admit intimidation of woman from her home – BBC News](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-68066928)
“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 BBC 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.
Danielle Skelton says she has had sleepless nights since the incident
“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.”

What a pair of idiots. Hopefully a long jail sentence awaits…
This pair of vicious, stupid drug-addled specimens are directly connected to the most influential group in NI politics, the Loyalist Communities Council. The LCCs views have been barriers to change for years, despite having absolutely zero democratic mandate or accountability. Why?
The spector of the rhetoric of senior.
Fecking brain dead, knuckledragging troglodytes..
Why would these brain surgeons do such a thing? It must be a Tiktok video for the billion followers they have 😂
I could hear the fear in that reporter’s breath at the end.
Cut off their brew.
Waste of oxygen
Celtic beat Rangers that day . Little pair of bitches couldn’t take it . Cowards
