Local priest condemns Kerr murder

The murder of a Catholic police recruit in Omagh was indefensible, a parish priest said today. No cause or reason can ever justify the crime, Fr Kevin McElhennon said.

The parish priest at Christ the King church said in an address to parishioners: “No one should be in any doubt that this terrible deed is morally wrong and indefensible. No cause or reason can ever justify murder.”
