‘Evil’ act robs family of an angel

A HORRIFIC firebomb attack, which claimed the life of four-year-old Katelyn Ryan, described as a little angel with go-gos, has been condemned as “evil” by a Limerick priest.

Speaking at the funeral mass of little Katelyn Ryan who lost her battle for life in Crumlin Children's Hospital last week Fr Damien Ryan said: "This deed was evil in its conception, evil in its implementation and evil in its consequences. We only have to look here in the sanctuary at Katelyn's little coffin to realise how evil it was.

"Violence is wrong. Violence, whatever its motivation is wrong. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth and the whole world will end up blind and toothless. This deed was evil."
