A group that disrupted a vigil for murdered school teacher Ashling Murphy has been accused of "weaponsing prayer" when they drowned out women's distressed voices by loudly amplifying their 'men's rosary'. 

The 'Men’s Rosary' refused to turn down their PA system or move across the street, making so much noise that the vigil was forced to end early.
