The ‘Londonderry Westbank Loyalists Still Under Siege’ mural was also daubed with paint.

“On Friday evening graffiti appeared on murals in The Fountain estate. The William King Memorial Flute Band mural which is dedicated to past members was defaced and sectarian graffiti sprayed in the same area,” said the Waterside councillor.

Ald. Guy said concerning graffiti that appeared to target two named individuals also appeared over the weekend.

“It is the more sinister graffiti, which appeared in both the Fountain and Irish Street estates on Friday night, threatening to shoot two named youths who are resident in their respective areas.

“These sinister threats should not be tolerated by anyone and do nothing but raise tensions amongst communities,” he said.
