Brothers remanded on heroin charges

Two men accused of possessing heroin with intent to supply it have been further remanded at the Isle of Man Prison. 

41-year-old Gregor Turley, of Princes Street in Douglas, and 20-year-old Christopher William Tabern, of Rainford in St Helens, appeared at Douglas Courthouse on Tuesday. 

The men are accused of jointly possessing the Class A drug at a flat on Princes Street on August 11th. 

The court heard forensic testing needs to be carried out on the substance before the case can progress. 

A three-week adjournment was granted to allow this to be done - bail applications for both men were refused; they'll next appear in court on September 5th.
