Exclusive: Disgust at Moygashel 'Marty rot in hell' poster

A member of the public has voiced their disgust at a new sign which has appeared in the Moygashel area of Dungannon, telling just-buried Martin McGuinness to "rot in hell'.

The message, which is painted onto a wooden board, also carried the words: "Moygashel celebrate the death of the Bogside Butcher."

As well as the transcription, the poster features an image of the Grim Reaper in front of two Union flags.

A local person - who wishes to remain anonymous - hit out at the image, which they said they found "disgusting" the day after the former deputy First Minister was laid to rest.

"I just think it's disgusting - at the end of the day a family are grieving," they said.

"It's just such a bitter statement to make after such a show of togetherness yesterday."

It is not clear how long the placard has been attached to the wall, but nor is it the first the village has drawn criticism for statements put up in the vicinity.

In 2014 police investigated a sign on the very same wall warning landlords in the area not to lease their properties to 'foreign nationals'.
