Residents of the small Northern Irish coastal town of Bushmills are in shock after a seriously injured man was found on Sunday morning. Both his hands were nailed to a fence.
He is being treated in a hospital, but his life is not in danger. Still, a police spokesperson described the injuries as ‘potentially life-changing’. According to police, two vans were also set on fire in the parking lot where the victim was found. One of them belonged to the victim.

Graffiti on a nearby wall is also linked to the crime. The police spokesman described the attack as sinister, adding: “This brutal attack by people who have violated the human rights of others must be condemned from all sides.”
The background to the crime is still unclear, but the investigation also focuses on paramilitary groups. Armed splinter groups are still active in Northern Ireland more than 25 years after the end of the civil war between Catholic supporters of the unification of the two parts of Ireland and Protestant supporters of the union of Northern Ireland with Great Britain. Outbreaks of violence, attempted murders and violent acts of violence continue to occur.
