Home of DPP member attacked
DISSIDENT republicans opposed to policing are thought to be behind an attack on the home of a member of Newry District Policing Partnership.
The newly constructed house of Independent member, Annetter Hughes, was daubed with graffiti and scorch damage was also caused after an apparent attempt to set fire to the property.
Ms Hughes' new home is situated on the Aghadavoyle Road, near Meigh outside Newry.
A digger on the building site was completely destroyed in an arson attack.
The PSNI are currently attempting to establish a motive for the overnight attack.
Remaining defiant, Ms Hughes said she would not be deflected from standing up for the right to proper policing.
