crimes I read the sickening report of the burglary at the home of Mary Morris while she attended the funeral of her brother Brian McGrath, plus the break-in of her son's car while being at the same funeral.

Brian McGrath in his life was a no-nonsense kind of man, plus with his great vocal talent was the first in line to aid local charities, which makes both these incidents all the harder to accept.

The low life scum who committed these deeds need to be brought to book in more ways than one. I will pledge £100 reward for any information that will lead to the culprits' arrest and conviction.
