Community reeling after ‘frenzied’ murder

A KEEN sports fan, friends of murdered hackneyman Liam Moloney were surprised when he failed to show up for the Ireland rugby match on Saturday.

They expected the 56-year-old at the local golf club as he watched nearly all the Ireland games there with his close friend, John Butler. Now they know where their friend was.

That afternoon, six miles away from Ennis, gardaí were trying to identify the badly mutilated body of a man found in a field outside the village of Ruan.
