Man abducted in paramilitary-style attack

The SDLP has condemned the paramilitary-style beating of a man in South Armagh yesterday who had both legs and arms broken and was beaten with clubs studded with nails.

The 45-year-old was found on Sheetrim Road in Cullyhanna by fire crews who were called out to a burning car at 10am.

He had been beaten in what the PSNI described as a “barbaric” attack. The man suffered multiple injuries to his face and body.
