DUP councillor's home attacked
THE home of a DUP councillor in south Armagh has been badly damaged in an arson attack.
Glenn Oliver - who sits on Newry and Mourne Council - was not in the house when it was targeted.
Windows were broken and flammable liquid was poured into the Newtownhamilton property. Graffiti was also daubed on a wall.
The damage is believed to have been substantial and a sectarian motive is a line of enquiry being pursued by PSNI in Newry.
This week, Mr Oliver's party colleague John Finlay has vowed he will not be forced out of his Cloughmills home after being subjected to an eighth attack.
The DUP mayor of Ballymoney believes he may have been targeted because of Ulster flags flying at the property.
