Murdered PSNI officer's wife '˜shocked' at his name on republican bonfire
The names of PSNI officer Stephen Carroll, murdered in Craigavon, and prison officer David Black, murdered near Lurgan, appeared on the bonfire.
Kate Carroll, widow of Officer Carroll, told the BBC: “I am absolutely shocked and disappointed that in Derry/Londonderry, a city that hosted the City of Culture so eloquently could allow their people to take such a backward step into the past.
