Two Douglas men accused of conspiring together over two attacks have appeared in court.

Thirty-six-year-old Justin Grant Fayle of Tromode House appeared in the dock alongside 31-year-old Richard David Bell of Lord Street before High Bailiff Jayne Hughes at Douglas courthouse.

No pleas have yet been entered by either man to two charges each of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm between 22-25 July.
