There will be a vigil held at Omagh Court House tonight (Friday) at 7pm for Aidan Moffitt and Michael Snee who were brutally murdered in Sligo on April 10 and 12.
A 22 year old man, Yousef Palani, has been been charged with the murder of the two men and the assault of another, all attacks having taken place in the last week.
“Omagh Pride recognises how challenging it is for LGBTI+ people in the North West of Ireland to find safe spaces to be themselves. The horrendous violence inflicted on Aidan and Michael, in their own homes is truly chilling.”
Cat continued, “Homophobia has no place in our society. LGBTI+ people in rural towns need support networks to ensure they feel loved and accepted. We welcome everyone to light a candle on Good Friday for Aidan and Michael and all those whose lives have been blighted by bigotry.”
