Heartbreak and relief as last sailor found

The grieving father of the final crewman to be recovered following the sinking of the trawler Tit Bonhomme was “heartbroken but relieved” after his son’s body was brought ashore yesterday.

“He was my son, I loved him so much. This has been a nightmare for our family,” said Mohammed Ibraham, father of Saied Aly Eldin.

He had maintained a vigil at the pier at Union Hall in Co Cork since arriving hours after the vessel sank in stormy water on January 15.
