Catholic 'peace maker' murder 'primitive, premeditated evil'

The murder of a Catholic community worker beaten to death by a Protestant mob in the North was primitive, premeditated evil, a priest told mourners at his funeral today.

Father-of-four Kevin McDaid, 49, was killed yards from his home in Coleraine, Co Derry eight days ago when violence flared after a 40-strong Loyalist mob stormed into the area after Rangers beat Celtic to the Scottish Premier League.
