A suspect has been arrested for defacing two LGBTQ+ murals in Manchester
A man was arrested in relation to the recent defacing of two murals in Manchester’s Gay Village.
According to a report from the BBC, the man has since been bailed out and is currently pending further questioning.
At the end of June, a mural of Drag Race UK star Divina de Campo was targeted, as well as one with World War II code breaker Alan Turning and drag legend Foo Foo Lammar.
The taggers wrote “666” and “dirty bastards” on the acclaimed pieces of artwork.
Chief inspector Adam Wignall touched on the arrest and hate crimes in a statement.
