Mike was a continuity announcer and news presenter on BBC Northern Ireland TV and radio in the 1970s and early 1980s.
In the early 1980s, Kerr read the late-night local news on BBC One Northern Ireland while “the worse for wear”. Colleagues had reportedly offered to read the headlines for him that night, but he barricaded himself into the studio. The incident cost him his job.
On Tuesday 19th November 2019, Mike’s body was discovered at his home by neighbours. He was killed in a “vicious, sustained and violent beating” according to police.
