Last week, Natalie’s partner was sentenced for her brutal murder which also claimed the life of her unborn son
The brother of Natalie McNally has slammed “patriots” following last night’s disorder and questioned where they were when his sister was killed.
Last week, Natalie’s partner Stephen McCullagh, was sentenced for her brutal murder which also claimed the life of her unborn son.
Violence erupted on the streets of Belfast and in other parts of Northern Ireland following protests in response to a knife attack in North Belfast on Monday evening.
The victim, a man aged in his 40s, has been named locally as Stephen Ogilvie and he is in a serious condition in hospital where he is being treated for wounds to his back, eye and face.
Taking to social media on Tuesday, Brendan McNally said: “From the sentencing remarks of a High Court Judge in Belfast not even a week ago: ‘a brutal and frenzied attack that involved the use of a knife”, so complex that the state pathologist couldn’t determine the fatal sequence.
“He adds that ‘the murder of women by a current or former partner is a grave and recurring phenomenon in our society…almost half of the murders in Northern Ireland in recent years have a domestic abuse motivation’.
“I didn’t see much of the same angry outcry and mobilisation from so called ‘patriots’ then, using the toxic mudslide of distortion and misinformation of their social media platforms. I wonder what the difference is?”
