An 18-year-old man was beaten in front of his family in a paramilitary-style attack in the Ederowen Park area of Derry on Monday night. Six masked men armed with an iron bar and a handgun burst into the man's home and beat him about the head and legs as his mother, younger brother and sister watched. The gang claimed they were from the Provisional IRA.
The latest attack is the 13th so-called "punishment" attack in little more than a week.
