MURDERED MAN'S SON UNDER THREAT FROM LOYALISTS 05/27/09 11:41 EST

The son of a Catholic man beaten to death by a sectarian mob
has been threatened by loyalists.

Police informed the grieving man last night that a threat
had been made against him, according to security sources in
Northern Ireland.

The warning came just 48 hours after his father, 49-year-old
Kevin McDaid, was brutally murdered just yards from the
family home in Coleraine, Co Derry.

Ten people remained in custody today over the killing of the
well known father of four. Two other men arrested in
connection with the incident were released without charge
last night.

The cross-community worker was targeted by a gang of up to
40 loyalists who entered a mainly Catholic housing estate
after Rangers beat rivals Celtic to the Scottish Premier
League title.

A second man, Damien Fleming, 46, is fighting for his life
in hospital after being assaulted during the same disturbances.

The independent Police Ombudsman has been called in to
investigate claims that the police did not do enough to
prevent the violence.

Mr McDaid’s widow Evelyn, who was badly injured in the
attack, believes the murder was the work of the loyalist
Ulster Defence Association but police say there was no
suggestion it was orchestrated by paramilitaries. The UDA’s
political wing, the UPRG, yesterday condemned the killing.

Organisers of a planned loyalist march in Coleraine at the
weekend have been urged to postpone the event over fears it
could exacerbate tensions in the area.

The independent Parades Commission is to review its decision
to grant permission for the event later today.
