An Armagh woman has appeared in court as the co-accused in a case of cruelty and non-fatal strangulation of children over a two year period.

In Newry, a woman pleaded not guilty to non-fatal strangulation, threatening or abusive behaviour, common assault and resisting police.

The Armagh case centres on allegations involving cruelty and non-fatal strangulation of children.

The Newry case involves multiple charges, with non-fatal strangulation among the counts.

Both cases are at initial court stages, with further proceedings anticipated.
