The mother of murdered journalist Lyra McKee has died a month before the anniversary of her shooting.
Ms McKee, 29, was killed by the New IRA last April as she watched rioting in the Creggan estate in Derry.
Joan Lawrie died "peacefully" in hospital yesterday, her daughter Nichola Corner confirmed in a social media post.
She said: "She is now at peace with her beloved daughter Lyra McKee."
Ms Corner said the death of her sister had a profound effect on her mother.
"They killed her the day they killed her precious baby girl."
She added that her heart was comforted knowing her mother and sister were together again and she would love them forever.
Ms McKee had been her disabled mother's main carer.
