Loyalists hound Catholic woman out

A WOMAN who is deaf and unable to speak was searching for a new home yesterday after being threatened by loyalist paramilitaries and told to get out of her Co Antrim flat.

The young woman, believed to be Catholic and living alone, was visited at her home on the loyalist Anteville estate in Larne last night by a gang which ransacked the rooms.

Police said nine windows were smashed, two televisions thrown out of the windows, the bathroom damaged and paint thrown around the flat.
