"The phone rang, it was Martin, and he said 'mum, I'm on my way out, I've two policemen with me, I have got a death threat and you have one too'," she told the BBC's Stephen Nolan show. "I'm here to stay, no one will put me out of my home, or put me out of my country. I was born and bred here in Carrickfergus and I will never move because of these threats.""It was that loyalists paramilitaries intend to carry out an attack against myself if we didn't leave the country within 24 hours," he said.
"It's more rage and anger in our family that these individuals would threaten a 78-year-old widow of a Royal Irish soldier in the run-up to Remembrance Sunday. It's disgusting at any level but at this time of year, what rock did they crawl out from under to do this? It's an absolute disgrace.""It was a merciless attack, they attacked him with iron bars and baseball bats.
Trust me If he was targeted by anyone he was not innocent not are the ones receiving death threats. There are plenty of people living in this region even immigrants who never have gotten death threats and never will because they are not involved in crime like these people.
