Ritchie: Rathfriland’s worst fears following tragic death

SDLP Leader and South Down MP Margaret Ritchie has said the local community’s worst fears have come through following the death of six-year-old Stuart Wilson from injuries sustained in an accident at Cranfield beach on Monday.

Fri 3rd September

She said: “The entire community has been hoping and praying for good news ever since this terrible tragedy occurred. Sadly, the worst fears were realised when news broke that young Stuart had died.

 

“Words are very difficult to come by when something like this happens and I’m sure no words are consolation to the loving family and close friends but on behalf of those I represent who I know have been praying and hoping for a better outcome, I would like to offer my deepest and most sincere sympathies.

 

“This must be the most awful experience imaginable. Whatever support and help the family need at this time, however big or small, they will get from the Rathfriland community and indeed the wider area.”
