Town vigil for dead man's family | |
(about 5 hours later) | |
About 300 people have taken part in a prayer vigil in Dungannon to show solidarity with the family of Shaun Fitzpatrick. | |
The 32-year-old was found dead in an alleyway at Donaghmore Road in the town early on Easter Sunday. | |
Two men have been remanded in custody charged with his murder. | |
They are Andrius Dunauskas, 21, of Lisnahall Road in Dungannon, and Raminas Balseris, 24, of Altmore Drive, Dungannon. | |
Mayor of Dungannon Barry Monteith said Friday evening's vigil was "a heartfelt reaction" to what had happened. | |
"This is a very close knit community. We went through hard times in the past, unfortunately we thought days like these were over. But I think that it was important that people came together," he said. | |
Earlier on Friday, a detective told Dungannon magistrates court that he could connect the two Lithuanian nationals to the charges. | |
Mr Fitzpatrick, from the town's Lisnahull estate, had been beaten to death. | |
He was on his way home after a night out when he was attacked. | He was on his way home after a night out when he was attacked. |
