The family of murder victim Siobhán Kearney (38) made a plea from the altar at her anniversary Mass for anyone with information on her death to come forward. The mother of one was found dead in a bedroom of her home in Goatstown, Dublin, on February 28th, 2006.
She had been strangled with the flex of a vacuum cleaner and her body locked in a bedroom at the house she shared with her husband, Brian, and three-year-old son, Dan.
Family and friends gathered at the Church of the Assumption in Dalkey and listened as her sister, Aisling, spoke of the pain the family had endured since her death. Describing her as the "brightest star in the sky", she said that every day since Siobhán was murdered the family had endured "the blackest pain imaginable".
"None can prepare you for the pain . . . to lose someone so special in such a way," she said. She asked anyone with information on her death to come forward. "That can only be a torturous thing to live with . . . we know this because as a family we have no peace, no resolution," she said.
