Barber Shop Attacked In West Belfast
A barber shop, where the man accused of killing boxer Eamonn Magee worked, has been attacked in west Belfast.
Sinn Féin MLA Jennifer McCann condemned he attack and said it only causes further hardship for the local community.
She said: "I visited the owners who are shocked and dismayed at the attack and I am sure the local community will rally behind this business to ensure that it continues to provide a service to the local community.
"I would urge those involved to stop targeting an entire community because someone of the same nationality has been charged with Eamonn's murder.
"If people want to see justice for Eamonn Magee they should cooperate with the PSNI inquiry so that whoever murdered him is brought to justice."
