The threat to murder anyone passing on information to the P.S.N.I. came a few hours after police investigating the murder of Lyra McKee confirmed they would guarantee anonymity for anyone who comes forward with evidence that could be used in a future criminal trial.
One local person who asked to remain anonymous said the slogans "have put the fear of God" into the community.
