The family of a man found murdered in Carrickfergus, County Antrim, have blamed the UDA for the killing.

It is understood local man Tommy Hollran, 49, may have been attacked after loyalist paramilitaries ordered him to stay away from the town.

NI Secretary Peter Hain condemned the murder, and said those responsible were “a threat to the whole community”.

Mr Hollran was found with serious head and face injuries in an alleyway at about 2200 GMT on Saturday.

He was then taken to hospital but died on Sunday afternoon. A post mortem examination is due to be carried on on Monday.

It is understood Mr Hollran, who was unemployed, was ordered to leave Carrickfergus last year following a dispute with loyalist paramilitaries.
