Higher court for man accused of threatening to kill

Committed to Court of General Gaol Delivery

A Douglas man accused of threatening to kill two members of his family has been committed to Island's higher court.

Thirty-eight-year-old Alistair John Cowin, of Taubman Terrace, appeared before Deputy High Bailiff James Brooks via a live link from prison.

At an earlier hearing he'd pleaded not guilty to two charges of making threats to kill on 29 July.

Mr Brooks remanded him in custody and committed him to the Court of General Gaol Delivery where he'll appear on a date to be fixed.
