Conor laid to rest as probe into hit-and-run continues

CRIES of sorrow were heard during the funeral Mass of fatal hit-and-run victim Conor Hickey in Cabra, Co Dublin yesterday.

The local community braved driving rain and strong winds to turn out in force to commemorate the life of the teenager who died from injuries sustained after he was struck by a vehicle which failed to stop a week ago.

The outpouring of grief in the Church of Christ the King was unrestrained as adults and schoolchildren, including local Sinn Féin TD Mary Lou McDonald, wept openly during the ceremony.
