A family death notice stated that all are welcome to the family home from 10am on Wednesday, March 27.

“Lovingly remembered by his sorrowing family and entire family circle.”

Speaking in the Council chamber on Monday night, UUP Alderman Gordon Kennedy said he knew several of the young victims, including Mr Morrison.

“I knew Keith personally, many a night he sat at our kitchen table. The Crilly family lives less than a mile from me. The Mitchell family is about two miles from me. I didn’t know the young girl Emma, but I knew two very well and the third family I went to school with his father.”
