Funeral of Gerry Evans takes place in Armagh
The funeral has taken place in south Armagh of Gerry Evans who was abducted and murdered by the IRA 31 years ago.
His remains were discovered in Co Louth in October and this morning his mother, Mary, and family led several hundred mourners at requiem mass in St Patrick’s Church in Crossmaglen.
Speaking at the funeral, Cardinal Sean Brady, said a great crime and great wrong had been done to Gerry Evans and his family.
He condemned the killers saying they had shown ‘appalling wickedness’ and sheer arrogance in choosing to play God and acting as judge, jury and executioner.
