Touching tribute to ‘incredibly special’ west Limerick woman killed in Holland

The children of a mother of eight, who died in suspicious circumstances in Holland, have paid tribute to their “amazing” mum who loved them all unconditionally with her “healing hugs”.

Martina O’Brien Viguurs, 64, a former nurse and air hostess, was found dead last Monday in her Dutch home, having sustained severe head injuries. Originally from Rathkeale, Co Limerick, Ms O’Brien also lived in Cork.

Her husband, Arnold ‘Arno’ Viguurs, has appeared before a court in the city of Den Bosch and is awaiting a decision by authorities on whether or not he will face charges over her death.
