Bomb victim just weeks in new area

THE young policeman killed in a booby trap car bomb had only been serving in the area for weeks, shocked colleagues said.

Ronan Kerr, 25, had graduated from training college last December and was living in Omagh, Co Tyrone.

It is understood the former pupil of the Christian Brothers Grammar School in Omagh was targeted outside his home as he left to start a shift at Enniskillen police station, Co Fermanagh.
