Guilty verdict but no happy ending

IT was a murder that shocked the nation and destroyed a family.

Mother-of-three Rose Patterson, 30, was stabbed to death in front of her infant son in the west Cork town of Clonakilty last year following a fierce row with his father, her estranged partner, 33-year-old Turkish barber Hadim Kedik.

Details emerged during the murder trial of the couples’ stormy relationship, their split, Mr Kedik’s jealousy as Ms Patterson moved on with her life, and their bitter child access rows.
