‘We’ve been a broken family since this’

THE McGowan family visit their son Robert’s grave every Sunday. Nine months after he was killed by a joyrider, the pain of his death is still too much to bear.

“We’ve been a broken family since this happened. We go to the graveyard every Sunday and break down every Sunday. My wife is a nervous wreck over it.

“Robert has left a three-year-old son who keeps asking for his father,” Patrick McGowan said yesterday.
