US murder victim brought home by family

THE BODY of an Irishman shot dead as he walked along a street in Chicago was flown home yesterday morning ahead of a funeral service in his local South Dublin church tomorrow.

Barry Cunnane’s parents, his brother and sister accompanied the body home on the eight-hour overnight flight to Dublin.

Fr Paul Dunne, curate in the parish of Sandyford, said the family were yesterday resting after a gruelling week in the United States.
