Two men have been convicted of stirring up hatred by taking part in singing an “abhorrent” song which mocked the murder of Michaela McAreavey.
Steven Kane, 26, received a four-month custodial sentence, suspended for 18 months, after pleading guilty to involvement in the chanting inside an Orange Order hall about the schoolteacher's death.
Co-accused Dillion Kelly, 22, denied the charge but was found guilty following a contest at Belfast Magistrates’ Court. He will be sentenced next month.
