Prayers for man who died after assault in home

PRAYERS were said yesterday for suspected murder victim Cyril Moran in the church where he spent most of his life since childhood.

While deputy state pathologist Dr Michael Curtis was carrying out a postmortem examination on the 60-year-old’s body, there were prayers for him at the Holy Cross Friary, Sligo.

Mr Moran was also an ace pub-quiz competitor and once ran junior soccer in Sligo.
