Shooting death couple laid to rest

Hundreds of mourners gathered at St Patrick’s Church, Fermoy, Co Cork, yesterday, to pay last respects to two young students found dead from gunshot wounds last Friday night.

“TO all who are struggling today, to all who are desperately searching for meaning in these appalling events, I say: hold on in hope, when the clouds around you are full of disappointment, brokenness, despair, anger and grief. These clouds will lift for you.”

With these words Fr Gerard Coleman tried to bring sense, hope and relief to two families crippled with grief.
