Minister Sugden said: “I unreservedly condemn this appalling act and I offer my deepest sympathies to the family.
“Murder is an attack against our entire community and those responsible have no place in society while they continue to be involved in crime.
“I call on anyone with information to pass it to the police on the 101 number or to the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.”
