Family say their worlds ‘were’ shattered by murder of mother in Omagh bomb

A commemorative statement from the family of Veda Short was read to the Omagh Bombing Inquiry 

The four children of a woman killed in the Omagh bombing have said that their worlds were “shattered” by her death in the 1998 Real IRA massacre.

The Omagh Bombing Inquiry heard that 56-year-old Veda Short was a “loving wife, mother and grandmother” who was very family-orientated and active within her church.
