Pair deny holiday cottage damage

Two men have denied causing an estimated £1,000 in damage to a holiday cottage in Onchan.

21-year-old Finn Dennis Ledwidge of Manor Park in Onchan and 18-year-old Dylan McGeown of Baitnaa River Heights in Douglas appeared before High Bailiff Jayne Hughes at Douglas Courthouse.

Both deny criminal damage at a cottage in Groudle Glen between December 31, 2020 and January 3 last year.

Prosecutor Rebecca Cubbon told the court a housekeeper discovered beds covered in vomit, human feces in a microwave oven, damaged doors and carpets as well as a smashed bin and glass.

Both had allegedly been with another co-accused at a party nearby and let themselves in - ordering a pizza delivery and drinking before getting taxis home.

Both were bailed in the sum of £500 and will appear in court again at a pre-trial review hearing on March 22.
