THE PSNI have said that they ‘are aware’ of a video depicting a song about the murder of Michaela McAreavey.
In a statement, a spokesperson said that they are examining the content to determine if any offences may have been committed.
There has been widespread condemnation of a video showing members of what appears to be an Orange Lodge singing a song mocking the murder of Michaela McAreavey.
The video surfaced on social media last night and is understood to have taken place during recent celebrations marking the Centenary of Northern Ireland.
Fermanagh and South Tyrone MP, Michelle Gildernew, said she had reported to the video to the PSNI.
“A beautiful young woman was murdered on honeymoon and this is how loyalists ‘celebrate’ the Queen’s Jubilee,” she said.
Ulster Unionist leader, Doug Beattie, and Loyalist, Jamie Bryson, have also condemned the video.
