A community activist has told how he saw a “perfect, small circle” in Lyra McKee’s head as he went to help her after she had been shot.
Mr Doyle said a large number of young people from Creggan were in the area and that the search operation made him feel “horrified because I thought straight away that this would cause trouble ... that the sight of personnel in an area such as Creggan wouldn’t have been welcomed”. Mr Doyle said that prior to shots being fired, he saw someone at the corner of Fanad Drive and Central Drive raise their right hand and shout “something along the lines of Up the IRA or victory to the IRA, but the IRA was referenced”.
“Once I heard the scream I moved up to where Lyra, who I didn’t know, was lying between the front and back wheels of a Land Rover. She was lying just between those two wheels. Mr Doyle said this action of moving Ms McKee’s hair left her blood on his hands. He said he then took his coat off in a bid to put it under Ms McKee’s head.
