‘Tom was a gentleman and a Christian with much to offer’

Murdered man Tom O’Gorman was an inoffensive man who would never fall out with anyone, friends said.

The 39-year-old devout Catholic was found dead in the early hours of Sunday at his home in a neighbourhood in Castleknock, Dublin, where he had lived all his life.

Michael Kelly, editor of the Irish Catholic newspaper to which Mr O’Gorman occasionally contributed, said it was surreal to find himself talking about the death.
