Councillor Sonia Copeland condemns East Belfast murder

East Belfast Ulster Unionist Councillor Sonia Copeland, has condemned last night’s murder of a man in the Cluan Place area of East Belfast.   

Councillor Copeland said:

“I was absolutely shocked to learn of the murder of Ian Ogle last night.

“I have known him for a number of years from involvement in work in and around Cluan Place and I know just how highly regarded he was by his local community and indeed much further afield.  

“I am shocked that anyone should be attacked in this manner, and I urge anyone who can help the police to catch those responsible, to come forward immediately and help them take these dangerous individuals off the streets before another innocent family is put through this type of dreadful ordeal.”
