Holiday hit-and-run victims' bodies to return home

THE remains of an Irish couple killed in a hit-and-run accident while on an anniversary holiday in Spain are due home within days.

Spanish officials were completing documentation yesterday which will permit the release the bodies to the family of Mattie O'Sullivan, 49, and his wife, Margaret, 48, from Newtown, Bantry, Co Cork.

Mr O'Sullivan's brother, Finbarr, and his wife, Kathleen, who were holidaying with the couple, are expected to accompany their bodies home, possibly on Wednesday.
