Killing of elderly couple caused 'tears, fear and anxiety' among locals, says funeral priest

The funeral has taken place of Donegal couple Jimmy and Kathleen Cuddihy who were found dead at their home in Cardonagh last week.

Speaking at the funeral mass at the Sacred Heart Church in Cardonagh, the Bishop of Derry Donal McKeown said the deaths of Jimmy and Kathleen had caused tears, fear and anxiety in the parish and far beyond it.

Their son Julian Cuddihy has been charged with the murder of his parents.

The 42-year-old is to appear before Letterkenny District Court tomorrow.
