An Irishman was found murdered and robbed in his hotel bedroom in Madras, India, at the weekend. Mr John Cashin (45), from Mooncoin in Kilkenny, was identified by a letter addressed to Sister Loreto Houlihan, a Presentation nun from Carrick-on-Suir who has been living in India for 50 years.
The dead man also had a video of Sister Loreto's family and neighbours in Carrick and a cake for her.
A man has been detained for questioning by police.
