Youth’s murder ‘not part of feud’

THE father of murdered Limerick teenager, Darren Coughlan said yesterday he was outraged that those who murdered his son were trying to link the attack to the city feud.

Holding back tears, Eugene Coughlan also said the fact that Darren’s organs were donated and will help give life to others meant a lot to their family.

Darren, 18, from Pineview Gardens, Moyross died from horrific head injuries at the Mid-Western Regional Hospital yesterday. He was admitted on Friday night after being assaulted by three men. The attack happened at the Old Cork Road, when Darren, an apprentice electrician, was chased by three men who jumped out of a red car.
