Final Listowel crash victim laid to rest

EVERY strand of Tommy Murphy’s short life was represented at the crash victim’s funeral yesterday in west Limerick.

The 32-year-old was the last to be buried of three best friends who were killed instantly when their hackney cab crashed as they returned to Newcastle West from the Listowel races on Sunday night.

Yesterday Tommy’s younger brother Mike, 29, sat with his family at the front of the country church in Carrigkerry – he had escaped from the horrific crash with just a broken arm.
