Town comes to terms with trauma

Bandon in West Cork is in mourning after the bodies of two men, Jonathan Duke and John Forrester, were recovered from the river, writes Sean O’Riordan.

A TOWN in Co Cork is trying to come to grips with the trauma of the deaths of two men — one of whom is being mourned by a young daughter he was said to be absolutely devoted to.

The people of Bandon were coming to terms with the death of Jonathan Duke, 27, when they were sent reeling into further shock with the discovery of another body, this time of a British man who had lived in the town for about three years.
