Mourners at the funeral of Kieran Quilligan at the Church of the Way of the Cross in Togher, Cork.

Kieran Quilligan, whose skeletal remains were found dumped on a roadside in Cork last week, died "the victim of a brutal act", a priest told mourners at his funeral Mass.

The body of the 47-year-old, who was last seen alive in Cork city on September 1 last year, was found in a gully just off the main Midleton to Whitegate road in East Cork. Two men were charged earlier this week with his murder.
