Earlier this week, police in the North investigating Lyra's death arrested four people.

Two male teenagers - aged 15 and 18 - have since been released without charge.

The PSNI says two men have now been charged in relation to the violent disorder in Derry.

A 51-year-old has been charged with riot, petrol bomb offences and arson of a hijacked vehicle.

A 38-year-old has been charged with riot, petrol bomb offences and the arson and hijacking of a tipper truck.

Both men are due to appear in court in Derry tomorrow.
