A book of condolence in memory of murder victim Chloe Mitchell has opened in Derry.
A huge search operation was launched after the 21-year-old went missing on June 3. It was called off after suspected human remains were discovered in Ballymena.
One man has appeared in court charged with her murder. Brandon John Rainey (26) was remanded in custody when he appeared at Ballymena Magistrates Court.
A second man, Ryan Johnston Gordon (34) also appeared in court charged with attempting to impede justice by concealing evidence linked to the alleged murder.
Ms Logue said her decision to open a book of condolence at Derry’s Guildhall followed a request from Derry and Strabane council’s health and community committee.
“The awful news of Chloe’s death has sent shockwaves through our city and district this week. Everyone in our community has the right to feel safe and as a society we must do everything we can to protect women and girls from any form of violence,” the Sinn Féin mayor said.
Members of the public can sign the book of condolence at the city’s Guildhall from 3pm on Friday. It can also be signed online at https://www.derrystrabane.com/Subsites/Mayor/Mayor/Mayors-Book-of-Condolences.
