Tributes to ‘selfless lady’ and ‘relentless autism activist’ found dead in her home

Three bunches of flowers, two candles, and a brief note from friends — tributes left yesterday outside the home of murder victim Susan Dunne in the heart of rural North Kerry.

The townland of Ballinagearagh, 12km from Listowel, is normally a peaceful place, of a kind that never makes the headlines.

And, despite the dreadful killing of the autism campaigner, it was calm and tranquil yesterday, as still shocked neighbours tried to come to terms with her death in the home she shared with her son, Patrick, 19.
