Police probe burning of nurse's car as sectarian hate crime as she describes 'terrifying situation'

Police are investigating the burning of a car at the home of an Aontu representative in Newry as a sectarian hate crime.

The incident happened in the early hours of Wednesday following July 11 loyalist bonfires across Northern Ireland on the eve of Orange Order marches.

Sharon Loughran said she awoke at 3am to find her car was on fire, describing a "terrifying situation". She said the blaze also caused significant damage to her home, and she has been left without electricity and water.
