Cross-community revulsion at murder

THE North’s first and deputy first ministers issued a joint statement to symbolise the cross-community revulsion at the murder of Ronan Kerr.

First Minister and DUP leader Peter Robinson urged Catholics not to be deterred from joining the PSNI.

“To plant a bomb under the car of a defenceless policeman is the type of cowardly act of murder that we had hoped we had seen the last of,” he said.
