A man is expected to be charged with murder in court following the death of a man who was the victim of a serious assault in Co Tyrone earlier this month.
Stephen Holmes died in hospital at the weekend after the incident in the Beechmount Village area of Strabane on February 3.
A 31-year-old man previously appeared before court last Thursday, charged with grievous bodily harm with intent.
On Wednesday, police said the charges have since been reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service.
The 31-year-old is expected to be charged with murder during an appearance before Strabane Magistrates’ Court on Thursday.
Stephen Holmes, 31, from the Strabane area, died in hospital on Saturday as a result of injuries he sustained five days earlier.
