Peter Klasovsky, 35, of Tavanagh Gardens in Portadown, and Artue Majdzinski, 26, of Enniskeen in Craigavon, appeared for the purpose a preliminary enquiry at Craigavon Magistrates’, sitting at Lisburn, on Friday.

Both men face charges of grievous bodily harm with intent, false imprisonment, robbery and theft.

The alleged offences occurred on January 28, of this year.

Klasovsky and Majdzinski are accused of unlawfully and injuriously imprisoning a male to whom they caused grievous bodily harm.
