A MAN bailed on a charge of murdering prison officer Adrian Ismay has been arrested for a second time in 48 hours.
Christopher Robinson was returned to custody again on Friday amid claims that he tampered with an electronic tag.
The 45-year-old has also been charged with a new offence of criminal damage to the device.
But he was re-admitted to bail after his lawyers argued that a fall outside his home caused the tag to come loose.
Robinson, of Aspen Park in Dunmurry, is accused of murdering 52-year-old Mr Ismay in March.
The prison officer suffered serious leg injuries when a booby-trap device exploded under the van while he was driving in east Belfast.
Robinson faces a further charge of possessing explosives with intent to endanger life.
He is allegedly linked to the bombing by CCTV footage of a car believed to have been used to plant the device at the victim's home.
At the High Court on Wednesday prosecutors said Robinson knew the victim through working together as volunteers with St John Ambulance.
The accused was granted bail at that stage on strict conditions, including a night-time curfew and electronic monitoring.
But he was returned to custody the next day for failing to respond to a check at his home in the early hours of the morning.
It was not suggested that he was away from the address at the time.
On Thursday Robinson was re-bailed with a warning that he must answer the door when police call.
However, officers detained him again early yesterday after a security firm reported an issue with the tag.
Robinson was brought back before Belfast Magistrates' Court where a district judge rejected attempts to revoke bail.
