A FORMER top loyalist has appeared in court charged with the murder of former UDA chief, Tommy English.
Darren Moore, 39, is the fourth man to be charged in connection with the death of Mr English, during a bloody loyalist feud over eight years ago.
He was remanded in custody after appearing at the city's Magistrates Court on Thursday amid heavy security.
A PSNI officer confirmed when the accused was charged, he replied: "I strenuously deny the allegations - not guilty."
Moore, from Mount Vernon in Belfast, was also accused of two counts of membership of Ulster Volunteer Force.
Last week, Mark Haddock was charged with the murder of Mr English after being arrested at Maghaberry Prison.
Two brothers from Newtownabbey have previously pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting in the killing on Halloween night in 2000.
Mr English was shot dead at his Newtownabbey home.
