Kerry double murder appeal: Funds pour in

There’s been an exceptionally generous reaction to a public appeal in Killorglin, Co Kerry, for funds to meet the cost of repatriating the remains of victims of a double murder to Lithuania.

A fund has already collected thousands of euro since Jolanta Lubiene, 27, originally from Lithuania, and her eight-year-old daughter, Enrika, were murdered in their home in a Killorglin housing estate, on Jun 15.

The response was yesterday described as “marvellous’’ and substantial sums are still coming in.
