Hundreds expected at removal of murdered widow

HUNDREDS of people are expected to pack St Patrick’s Church in Kilbrittain, Co Cork, tonight for the removal of Anne Corcoran, the 60-year-old widow whose body was found in a shallow grave last Friday.

It is believed she died from blunt force trauma to the head, after being tied up. An attempt was also made to burn her body before she was buried in the shallow grave at Garretstown Wood.

Gardaí have refused to comment on the findings of the post-mortem examination at Cork University Hospital by Assistant State Pathologist Dr Margaret Bolster.
