Brutal murder instils fear in peaceful community

A PALPABLE fear exists in a tight-knit and normally very law-abiding community following the murder of a frail pensioner.

Elderly people, especially those living on their own, are praying that gardaí will quickly catch the killer of Christy “Gussy” Hornibrook, whose bound body was discovered at his home in Gurranabraher, Cork.

The 74-year-old’s body was found at around 12.30pm at his home at 21 Templeacre Avenue by his older brother, Bobby.
