Family left in anguish as Gussie’s killer remains free

THE family of Gussie Hornibrook may never find out who murdered him.

More than two years after the body of the 74-year-old was found in his home at Templeacre Avenue in Gurranabraher, Cork city, they may never know why the pensioner was viciously beaten and strangled, why he was tied to a chair and why nothing of note was stolen from the impoverished building.

They are unsure how long Gussie – nobody ever called him Christopher – would have been lying there if his now 85-year-old brother did not arrive to find him the next morning.
