Deirdre Lennon says disclosure compounded her grief after her brother Jim Lennon’s suicide in 2012
A family in Northern Ireland has condemned as “sick” the allegation that a police officer tried to share photographs of their relative who had killed himself.
Deirdre Lennon said she had not trusted the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) since learning about the alleged attempt to share online pictures of her brother Jim Lennon. “Not a chance would I ring the cops now. No chance. I have no faith in them. How are you supposed to?” she told the BBC on Wednesday.
