Justin Mcnulty from The Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) said the footage appeared " sick and shameful".
Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV leader) Jim Allister said: " The video glorying in the murder of Michaela Mcareavey is beyond disgusting, bringing shame and dishonour on all associated with such loathsome behaviour. "
