Mourners at a funeral of a car crash victim in Dungannon were shocked to see cars performing doughnuts outside the service, according to a Sinn Fein MP.

Mid Ulster MP Francie Molloy was speaking after the funeral of Alaedin (Alinko) Fejzula (21), at St Patrick's Church on Friday morning.

Mr Fejzula and 27-year-old Patrick (Pa) Kemenczei died in a three-car collision on Sunday on the A29 Dungannon Road near Moy.

The two men, originally from Slovakia, were travelling along with Mr Fejzula’s girlfriend.

A woman who was travelling in one of the other cars died from her injuries on Tuesday.

She was named locally as Brigid McKenna from Emyvale in Co Monaghan. Mrs McKenna had been travelling with her husband.

Mr Molloy said that following the service drivers performed doughnuts outside the church, he described the act as a "scandal".

“People were shocked at the behaviour outside the chapel. They were doing donuts round and round at the chapel gates and had closed off all three roads," the Sinn Fein MP said.

“People in high-vis vests stood at the junctions to Killyman, Circular and Northland Roads while cars drifted in the small area for around 10 minutes before a police car arrived. This just highlights the whole issue of speed.

“It is a scandal to use a situation like this to glorify speed and I think it’s something that needs to be addressed.”
