The Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Justyn Galloway said the murderer had caused "terrible suffering" to Ms Haveron's children and has appealed for the murderer to "do the right thing" and "come forward and speak to police". He made the appeal at a press conference and noted that her family will need a long time to come to terms with what happened. "They have been consumed by grief and have been struggling to come to terms with what has happened since the Sunday she was found murdered," he said, adding, "You are responsible for taking away their mother whom they loved more than anything else." DCI Galloway also appealed to the people of her hometown, Ballyclare and its surrounding areas for information.

Buchanan Community Council requested the extension to the by-laws because they claim alcohol related anti-social behaviour is affecting the area. The by-laws will have to be approved by the Scottish Government and undergo a public consultation before Scottish ministers can make a final decision.
