Vandals destroy graves in Co Armagh
Vandals have destroyed 14 gravestones at a Presbyterian cemetery in Co Armagh.
Newry and Armagh Ulster Unionist Assembly member Danny Kennedy described the vandalism "as repulsive and disrespectful".
“This desecration is a despicable act of sacrilege which defies logic," he said.
"That anyone would want to disturb the graves of the deceased is beyond comprehension."
He added: “What purpose is served by such a repulsive action? Those responsible are callous and contemptible. They have shown themselves to have no respect for the dead."
Mr Kennedy appealed for anyone with information to contact police.
