Murders awaken family’s nightmare loss

THE murders of Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells have reawakened the nightmares of an Irish family which went through similar agony to the families of the dead British children.

Bernadette Connolly was 10 years of age when she was abducted in 1970.

Her body was later found dismembered and thrown into a bog hole near her home in Collooney, Co Sligo.
