Statement by TUV leader Jim Allister:
“The shocking threat against Mrs Ellen Quinn – a 78 year old widow – and her son Martin from loyalist paramilitaries is utterly reprehensible.
“The Quinn family have a record of service to this country which puts their loyalty beyond question. There is, therefore, more than a little irony in them receiving advice from the PSNI that they are under threat from those who claim the title loyalist.
“This family have fought a tenacious campaign for justice for Glenn Quinn who was brutally beaten to death in his home in early 2020. It would appear that their efforts are upsetting some people. No one should be treated in such a fashion. I urge the PSNI to make strenuous efforts to bring both those responsible for the vile murder of Glenn Quinn and those behind these threats to justice. All threats against the elderly Mrs Quinn and her son should be lifted immediately.”
