Masked gang taunt murdered Justin's family with sick pic

TEEN gang members have taunted the family of murdered 14-year-old Justin McLaughlin with a vile photographic display.

Cruel youngsters in masks posed where the boy died to bait his grieving relatives.

The sick photo features two menacing teenagers in black clothing displaying a Rangers flag. It was sent via Instagram to Just in’s aunt, Linda McLaughlin, and other relatives on Thursday.

The flag is designed to cause offence, contrasting with the many Celtic scarves and strips laid at the scene, at High Street station in Glasgow. Justin was an ardent supporter of the club.

The incident has been reported to police, who are trying to find those responsible.

Justin’s uncle, Stephen McLaughlin, 28, told the Record his family are devastated by the latest outrage.

Stephen said: “Linda was sent the photo on Thursday night and she’s reporting it to CID because they can’t be allowed to get away with this intimidation.
