1/3 This is a good and informative article addressing the issues that NI And our young people face. It rightly raises our lack of government strategic intent to resolve these issues in the longer term. But I have an issue with the timing of this article.

Statement from @womensaidni.bsky.social about yesterday’s tragedy in Maguiresbridge. Deepest, deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Vanessa, Sara and James. Such an appalling loss.
The statement: 
Women’s Aid NI wishes to express our deepest sympathies and heartfelt sorrow to the loved ones of Vanessa Whyte and her two children, Sara and James, following the news of their murders in Maguiresbridge.

To the wider Fermanagh community, please know we are thinking of you all at this time of unimaginable grief. While we cannot begin to comprehend your pain, please know that we stand with you.

Vanessa is the 28th adult woman to be murdered in Northern Ireland since 2020, the vast majority of whom were killed in their own homes. 

Her daughter, Sara, was just 13 years old. Her son, James, was only 14.

If you have any information that may assist the police with their investigation, please contact the PSNI by dialing 101.

You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or submit information via their website: crimestoppers-uk.org
