Definitive answer for family as far away as ever

WHEN Brian Rossiter missed the bus from Clonmel to Wexford on a September Sunday afternoon in 2002, nobody knew that a few days later he would be lying dead in a Cork hospital after a chain of events which still remain shrouded in mystery.

Pat Rossiter met his son on that Sunday afternoon and was suspicious about the 14-year-old missing the bus that was due to take him back to Wexford, where Brian had moved with his mother Siobhán little over a week before.

Brian hadn’t been too keen on the move, which was taking him away from his home town and his friends, so Pat had reason to be suspicious. But when he told Brian to go back to his sister, who lived in a flat near Clonmel’s town centre, it was the last conversation between the father and son.
