Family heartache at border murder | |
(about 4 hours later) | |
A priest has spoken of a family's devastation at the murder of a 21-year-old County Armagh man. | |
The man, named locally as Paul Quinn, 21, from Cullyhanna, was found badly beaten near Castleblayney just after 1800 BST on Saturday. He died later. | |
The PSNI and gardai are co-operating in the investigation which is believed to focus on the laundering of diesel. | |
An assembly member said Mr Quinn had been lured to a farm in County Monaghan where he was attacked by a gang. | |
SDLP MLA Dominic Bradley said: "There is utter revulsion in the local community at this act. | |
"The community in Monaghan and south Armagh must work with an Garda Siochana and the PSNI by giving them the information they need to bring these people to justice." | |
Mr Quinn was found at Tullycoora, outside Castleblaney, and the area remains cordoned off. | |
