Children missed school ‘due to trauma caused by brother’s murder’

A TEENAGE brother and sister had lost a huge amount of days at school due to the trauma caused by the gangland murder of their older brother, Limerick District Court heard yesterday.

The boy, who attends a city secondary school, was the first to get to where his brother was shot and picked up his body.

However, the court heard the absenteeism dated from three years prior to the murder.
