A PRIEST yesterday asked Justice Minister Michael McDowell why murder victim Gary Douch had to die the way he did in prison.

Gary ‘Niga’ Douch had just turned 21 when he was beaten and strangled to death in an overcrowded cell in Mountjoy Jail on August 2 last.

Speaking at his funeral Mass yesterday, Fr Terry Murray appealed to the media to seek answers from the Minister for Justice.
