Daughter of Margot Seery grateful mother’s killer finally told the truth

The daughter of murdered woman Margot Seery has expressed gratitude to the murderer for finally telling the truth.

For more than 20 years, Niamh Holliday (née Seery) thought her mother’s death was an accident; an autopsy in 1994 wrongly found that Margot had died after choking on her own vomit as a result of alcohol intoxication.

Margot had, in fact, been strangled to death by a man she had only met that night, a crime that remained hidden until last year when 41-year-old Howard Kelly, with an address at Osprey Apartments, Naas, Co Kildare, came forward to confess his crime.
