AN Irish priest murdered in Kenya was stripped naked and stabbed in the throat by robbers who stole his blood-stained clothes, a CD player and two mobile phones.
Shocking details of the killing of Fr Jeremiah (Jerry) Roche (68) emerged last night as police in the troubled east African country hunted two suspects.
The youngest of 11 siblings, Fr Roche’s family confirmed last night that he had planned to retire to his home parish in Athea, Co Limerick, next year.
His niece, Anne Cunningham, said the family were “shocked and saddened” over the news of his death as arrangements were made to bring his body home.
