The mother of murdered PSNI Constable Ronan Kerr has described the death of her son as a 'very personal attack'.

Speaking on the BBC's Spotlight programme, which will be broadcast tonight, Nuala Kerr said the bomb blast that killed her son 'wasn't a random attack, but was specific for Ronan'.

'They obviously knew where he lived, they knew his car, and they had identified that he was a police officer. Somebody obviously led them in that direction.'

Mrs Kerr also appealed for Catholics not to be deterred from joining the PSNI.

The 25-year-old was killed when a bomb exploded under his car in Omagh, Co Tyrone, on 2 April.
