A JustGiving page has been set up to help the family of the late Lyra McKee who was murdered on the streets of Derry on Thursday night. 

The 29-year-old died after being shot during a night of clashes in which petrol bombs were thrown and vehicles hijacked.

The victim was rushed by police landrover to Altnagelvin Hospital but tragically died of her injuries.

Police chiefs blamed dissident republicans for murdering Ms McKee.

Following Lyra’s tragic death, a JustGiving page was set up to help raise money for her family.

The JustGiving page reads: “The ordinary people of Derry have hearts that are sore today. This brave, intelligent and innocent young woman should not have died here.

“Please show your support and donate.

“Her family must hate Derry and everyone in it right about now.

“Show them this was not in your name.

“Show them that our hearts hurt for their devastating, unjustified and unjustifiable loss.”
