Daughter of Margot Seery grateful mother’s killer finally told 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.
