Mother: ‘I will miss son forever’

The heartbroken mother of a 31-year-old man who was fatally stabbed in Cork City broke down in tears at his Requiem Mass and said she would “love and miss him forever”.

Mark Hanlon, a father of one, from Lios Ard, Lotamore, Mayfield, was killed in a stabbing incident at Infirmary Road on the south side of Cork City in the early hours of May 6.

Mourners filled the Church of Our Lady Crowned in Mayfield yesterday to pay sympathy to his partner Catherine, son Darren, 8, parents Isabell and Paul, along with his brothers and sisters, Karen, Dean, Corey and Megan, on their tragic loss.
