Families’ heartfelt plea at vigil for murdered women

The vigil was held outside the house where 43-year-old mother of three Irene White was found stabbed to death on April 6, 2005. Her mother — who has since passed away — discovered her body in a pool of blood on her kitchen floor.

The aunt and the elderly parents of French woman Sophie Toscan Du Plantier who was found dead on December 23, 1996, Georges and Marguerite Bouniol, and the family of murdered Dublin woman Rachel O’Reilly, who was killed on October 4, 2004, were among the relatives there to highlight the tragedy of the 126 women who died violently since 1996.
