‘If I told her I was sick ... she might be alive now’

CELINE CONROY’s mother feels she might have saved her daughter’s life if she told her she had cancer.

The 26-year-old Dubliner was found lying in a pool of blood by police on August 28 at the holiday home in Alicante she shared with her long-term partner Paul Hickey.

She had been beaten to death in front of her three children Shane, eight, Chloe, six, and Leah, one, who are now staying with relatives. Mr Hickey is being held in Spain pending further investigation into her death.
