PUP politician receives death threat (UTV)

A bullet and sympathy card has been sent in the post to PUP member Ken Wilkinson.

Mr Wilkinson said: “The package was handed to me by the postman with no stamp on it and I opened it in front of him and the bullet fell out.

“I’m not sure who is behind it but I am a party member that continuously speaks out against drug dealers in our community.”

Last week Mr Wilkinson also told of how the PSNI warned there was a threat on his life.

A party spokesperson said: “We condemn those responsible for this latest attempt to threaten and intimidate a party member and we will continue to work to improve the lives of those living in local communities.”

The longstanding party member’s home has previously been targeted in separate pipe bomb and car bomb attacks.

Mr Wilkinson says he will not be deterred.

“I will continue to work for the community and continue to speak out against issues affecting the community,” he said.
