Just heard that the lad has past away. RIP

Where did you hear this as I cannot find it anywhere on the net and the 1pm news on the radio mentioned nothing?

One of the Ballinderry posters on the Derry thread cofirmed it and it's so close knit around there I couldn't imagine any reason to doubt him.

I can confirm it is true, some people would be better not posting.

Is that directed at me?
I meant no harm and was just wondering what the correct facts were.
If the lad has passed away then my he rest in peace and he will be in my prayers.
My condolences also to his family.

R.I.P.

thats a rough one R.I.P
And the usual sentiments that the sc**bag that did it deserves everything he gets.

It is terrible news - absolutly. However a rush to judgement like this is not at all helpful when you don't know the full facts.

Shocking news if it's true. I wonder should we wait before this sort of thing is public knowledge before posting here? I remember we had an awful Joe Kernan thread here last year.

Anyway, assuming it is true, it's awful news and sympathies to his family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Oh no not at all, the other post from hoopeddefender, just throwing people every way. I know it wasnt intentional just be better knowing your facts before posting, again, not directed at you, all you did was request confirmation.

Anyway, enough said.

Absolutely terrible. Can't even imagine how the family are feeling.

Very, very sad. RIP young man.

I think people should refrain from posting ANY statements about what they've heard or even ask questions about what happened on the board lest rumours only add to the grief of the family.

Have been out there a few times, generally a bad atmopshere.
