A memorial bench was overturned at the grave of Thomas Patrick Connor who was just 19 when he died in a road crash four years ago.
His sister, who asked not to be named, said chunks of marble were discovered scattered across the grave in Rose Hill Cemetery as the family paid their respects.

"Then they have been thrown over and over at his headstone.”
The family say a camera to watch over the grave over vandal fears were installed last year, but say they were ordered to take it down.
Thomas, known as Tull, died when his Vauxhall Astra van ploughed into a railway bridge in the centre of Manchester on April 7, 2019.
