Thomas Dooley from Killarney suffered fatal stab wounds when he was attacked in Rathass cemetery in Tralee.

The scene was preserved pending a full technical examination. “Rath graveyard is the biggest graveyard in Tralee, it’s a place where people go to reflect, it’s where people go to walk, it’s a place where people go to visit a loved one who has passed away. His wife, Siobhan, was also injured in the attack. The Mayor of Tralee, Mikey Sheehy, said there was “shock” at the incident and a “sombre” mood in the town. “Gardaí are aware of who is involved in the feud – in terms of the families and the individuals — but it is a question of whether witnesses to the attack will come forward and speak up.” An incident room has been established at Tralee Garda Station and a senior investigating officer has been appointed to the case.
