Widow recalls last kiss before husband brutally shot

THE widow of a young man gunned down in a gangland killing at the weekend yesterday spoke of her last moment kissing her husband before he was shot dead, just yards from her.

An emotional Jodie Ward remembered the last kiss from Edward, her 24-year-old husband and father of their two daughters Jessica and Katie.

The couple were joking in the yard of a garage on Greenhills Road, Walkinstown, Dublin, which belonged to 40-year-old Brian Downes.
