A 32-YEAR-OLD man whose girlfriend lost her life after becoming ill last Friday has been found shot dead at the foot of her grave.

The man, named locally as Julian Rothwell, was located at St Abbans cemetery in Adamstown, south Wexford, yesterday morning next to a legally held rifle.

Just 48 hours earlier his long-term girlfriend, Gillian Bradley, 25, was buried amid emotional scenes.
