Mother of assault victim prays for his attackers

THE mother of a Limerick man who has been hospitalised since he was viciously beaten eight months ago has forgiven his attackers and prays for them.

Josephine Franklin whose son, Denis, 21, was brutally attacked by a number of people in Cork City on February 17, said doctors gave little hope that he would ever recover.

“Denis is still the same way. The doctors say he is medically brain dead. He can open his eyes but he can’t see,” Mrs Franklin said.
