Riedo describes painful differences with charity founder

THE mother of murdered Swiss teenager Manuela Riedo cried as she described the breakdown of relations with the founder of a charity set up in memory of her only child.

Brendan McGuinness, who runs a pub in the Swiss city of Basel, announced on Tuesday that he was quitting the organisation amid claims in a Swiss newspaper that money was missing from the charity.

Manuela, 17, was raped and murdered in October 2007, just three days after arriving in Galway for a language course.
