Mum: ‘I can’t forget my son’s massacred face’

The mother of a 23-year-old man who was beaten unconscious and left to drown in the River Shannon has said she cannot forget her son’s “massacred face” when she closes her eyes.

A cage fighter and another man were yesterday jailed for life for murdering Polish-born Patryk Krupa.

Mr Krupa drowned in the Shannon outside Athlone while incapacitated with a head injury from a violent assault on June 20, 2014.
