Pensioner can't face farm since killing

A PENSIONER whose brother was killed for £45 yesterday spoke of his sorrow since the attack that destroyed his life two years ago.

“I’m bad these two years after it. They killed Paddy, I’m lucky to be alive. We were going along great,” Peter Logan told the Central Criminal Court yesterday as sentencing was passed on the two men who attacked the elderly brothers at their farm at Castlejordan, Co Meath.

Since the brutal attack, Peter Logan has not been able to return to the farm he had shared with his brother and lived on since the age of nine. “No. I never went out near it,” said Mr Logan, who now lives with his niece.
