Mourners told Cookstown man Damien Heagney's death showed 'man's inhumanity to man'

Parish priest Fr Patrick Hughes said when he heard Damien was missing he had hoped and prayed that he would be found and would not become one of the disappeared.

When a body was found and identified as Damien it had been very hard for his mother Mary and the family, but it gave them an opportunity to give him a Christian burial, the priest said.
