A single bunch of flowers resting on a plain coffin and the warm glow of the affection of those who knew her reflected the life of a murder victim who had always put other people first.

The 19-year-old son of Susan Dunne, who was found dead at her north Kerry home on Wednesday, has appeared in court charged with her murder.

Three bunches of flowers, two candles, and a brief note from friends — tributes left yesterday outside the home of murder victim Susan Dunne in the heart of rural North Kerry.
