Sinn Fein MLA Martin McGuinness has expressed his shock and sadness at the death of popular local teacher Patricia Hughes.
“Patricia was a neighbour and friend so, like many others throughout Derry, I was deeply shocked when I learned of this tragic news.
“As a highly respected educator Patricia was someone who inspired and enriched the lives of countless young people throughout this city and beyond.
