A couple from Armagh have been returned for trial in connection with serious child sexual abuse charges following multiple delays to the proceedings.

The allegations are said to relate to offences occurring over a two-year period. The case may also involve potential joint enterprise, according to reporting by Armagh I.

Trial follows multiple delays

The available report does not identify the couple, provide a trial date or set out the specific allegations. It also does not state which court dealt with the latest hearing or explain the reasons for the delays.

The charges remain allegations, and the return for trial is a procedural stage rather than a finding of guilt. Further details may emerge as the case progresses through court.
