Border Fox eulogises ‘martyr’ criminal Kelly at funeral

The Border Fox, Dessie O’Hare, was one of the chief mourners yesterday at the funeral of murdered criminal Eamon Kelly.

Speaking during the service, the former INLA leader described his close friend Kelly, who was nicknamed the Godfather, as a “martyr”.

He said the 65-year-old convicted drug dealer, who was a father of nine, had “a real sense of justice that was matched by his integrity to do something about that injustice”.
