DUP – Deeply Disappointed by Sentence in the Lorimer Case The DUP’s Upper Bann MP David Simpson, Upper Bann MLA Stephen Moutray and Lurgan Cllr Carla Lockhart have visited the home of David and Julie Lorimer, brother and sister-in-law of murder victim Andrew Lorimer. Andrew was murdered in Lurgan 21 months ago. The court trial regarding his murder was on Wednesday. Speaking following a discussion with the family the DUP representatives said, “Our deepest sympathies are with the Lorimer family. The court case has taken its toll on all the relatives in a way which no one else can fully understand. The sentence issued in court on Wednesday was disappointing. Indeed, some have described it as unduly lenient. Andrew Lorimer suffered a barbaric death. The sentence handed out to those convicted for this heinous crime, is difficult to understand for anyone but most of all for this grieving family. Andrews family thought that justice would prevail with sentences that reflected the severity of the murder. We will be assisting the family as they now explore their options for redress. It is also important that the judiciary offer some public explanation for the approach which was taken.”
