The Wingate men, aged 24 and 27, answered bail yesterday in connection with the shooting of a man, named locally as Keith Robinson, 56, in the groin and legs.

The victim was standing in his garden around 2.30pm on Monday, August 18 when a number of vehicles pulled up into the quiet close of Brackendale Court, in Station Town near Wingate, and opened fire.
