Tributes paid to ‘best daddy in world’

A book of condolence has been set up for an Irish father of two killed in Australia who has been described by his family as “the best daddy in the world”.

Charlie McCarthy, 32, from Aghada, Co Cork, and his wife Nicole, were waiting for a taxi home in Perth in the early hours of December 23 when he was attacked by a man with an object.

He was rushed to hospital where he was placed on life support. His family members flew over to Australia to be at his bedside.
