Arran Kaighin appears in court

A PEEL commissioner who sparked an island-wide hunt after he went missing for four days has appeared in court today (Thursday) on charges relating to indecent images of children.

Arran Ernest Kaighin, aged 43, of Douglas Street, Peel, faces seven counts of making a still computer image containing indecent photographs or pseudo photographs of children.

Mr Kaighin, who was represented by advocate Dawn Jones, was remanded in custody until Tuesday, when he will appear in court via live link.

Mrs Jones made no request for bail and legal aid was granted.

Mr Kaighin disappeared last Thursday afternoon, leaving his worried family making appeals for his return.

A major search operation was mounted by the emergency services for the married father-of-five, who stood as a House of Keys candidate for Peel in last year’s general election.

He was found safe and well on Monday and required hospital treatment for minor injuries.
