East Belfast Alliance MLA Naomi Long has condemned the murder of leading loyalist Jim Gray who has been shot dead in east Belfast.
Councillor Long said, “I totally condemn what appears to be a paramilitary execution. Murder is wrong and, as a society, we need to be clear that it is always unacceptable for people to take the law into their own hands. I would appeal again for an end to all paramilitary and criminal activity in our society and for people to respect the rule of law.”
