McKee was shot dead during rioting in Derry in the early hours of Good Friday.
THE PARTNER OF murdered journalist Lyra McKee has hit out against the “idiot with a gun” who cut short her future with the 29-year-old Belfast journalist.
Canning has hit out at the dissident group behind McKee’s murder last month and questioned why they were being protected “when all they’ve done is bring carnage into a community. Again.” McKee had recently relocated to Derry from Belfast to live with Canning. Her killing was condemned and sparked an outpouring of support and sympathy from all across the world.
“People live in these communities and they’re just a microcosm of the product of poverty and the product of years of intimidation and these people know exactly what they’re doing,” Canning told Channel 4 News, in reference to dissident republicans in Derry.
