Service for murdered Chinese woman

THE parents of a young Chinese woman who was stabbed to death will join her friends and a seaside community for a memorial service this morning.

Dejiu Wang and Qin Xue Xiu travelled to Ireland on Wednesday from their home in northern China after being informed of the death of their only child Xiang Yi Wang, known as Linda to her many friends in the Co Wicklow town of Bray.

Members of the Special Olympics committee organised the memorial service as a mark of respect to Ms Wang, who acted as an interpreter for the Chinese team based in the town for the tournament.
