Wife seeks prayers for family of charged man

THE wife of a prominent member of the Irish Amateur Boxing Association, who was shot dead early last Sunday morning, yesterday asked for prayers to be said for the family of the man who has been charged with his murder.

Mary Mahon made the request as at the Requiem Mass in Fermoy, Co Cork, for IABA vice-president John Mahon.

The 60-year-old’s coffin was adorned with a number of pictures, including one of himself and Mohammed Ali.
