Murderers have ‘committed great evil’

THE perpetrators of the murders of Des Kelly and Breda Waters in Limerick last Sunday carried out a great evil which marked them for life, the parish priest of Southill said yesterday.

Fr Pat Hogan addressing mourners at the funeral Mass of 24-year-old Des Kelly said: “We thought we were getting away from the insane evil acts of violence, but this has landed us back into the land of misery; re-opening old wounds for so many who have suffered wounds that took so long to heal.”

Earlier yesterday, the Requiem Mass for Breda Waters, 28, took place at St Mary’s Parish Church.
