British Christian graves sprayed with pro-Islam graffiti by vandals

A spokesman said:“We have a policy to remove racist or highly offensive graffiti as soon as possible. 

“We were very keen to remove this as soon as possible to minimise any further distress to the families.”

The council has appealed for information from anybody who saw people acting suspiciously around the graves. 

“If we find out who is responsible we would certainly want them prosecuted and punished,” said the spokesman.

The name on the defaced grave pictured has been disguised by the Citizen to avoid distress to relatives. Meanwhile other families who visit New Bradwell cemetery are furious about the vandalism.

 “We’re worried they will strike again and damage other headstones,” said one visitor.
