A Belfast Crown Court jury has been told that a man indecently assaulted his two nieces while bathing them.

One of the girls, now a 31 year old mother of two, said this incident had occurred about four years after he had raped her at the age of nine in the bedroom of her west Belfast home where he was staying in 1974.

On Monday, the woman's younger sister told the jury how she also had been raped and indecently assaulted at the age of seven by her uncle.

The 51 year old Belfast man has denied two charges of rape and six of indecently assaulting the two girls between 1974 and 1980.
