Overview
- Liam Moor, 19, appeared at South East Northumberland Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday over the death of Lisa Denton, 40, after an incident outside Charlie’s Bar on 24 January.
- Magistrates released Moor on conditional bail, imposing an electronically monitored 9pm–7am curfew, an exclusion zone in North Shields, weekly reporting, and a ban on contacting witnesses.
- The case was sent to Newcastle Crown Court for a first appearance on 24 February and no plea was taken at the magistrates’ hearing.
- Prosecutor Clare Haswell told the court the allegation involves a single punch to the face and said Moor left the scene, while defence solicitor Mark Harrison indicated a self‑defence case.
- A woman in her 50s arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released on police bail as Northumbria Police continue enquiries and urge the public to avoid speculation.
