First Minister Peter Robinson MP, MLA and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness have condemned the murder of a young man last night.
Mr Robinson said: “This murder in Londonderry was a despicable and cowardly act carried out by evil people. There will be no turning back to the dark days of the past, we will not allow our achievements to be destroyed by violence that has no place in our society.
“My deepest sympathies are with the young man's family at this very difficult time.”
Mr McGuinness said: “The people who have perpetrated this act have nothing to offer society. They do not represent anyone in Derry or in the wider community. These actions have no place in our future.
“My thoughts and prayers are with this young man's family and loved ones.”
