A 24-year-old man has been charged with Mr McDonagh’s murder.
Mr McDonagh died after an incident outside licensed premises on the Hillhead Road on January 10.
A previous court hearing heard the cause of Mr McDonagh’s death was a blow to the back of the head, possibly caused by him falling after he was attacked.
