Wounded father carries wife's coffin as son faces murder charge

In the quiet of a Cork church, a man still bearing the wounds of the night his family was shattered rose to carry his wife's coffin to her grave. Stella Gallagher, a chemical engineer known for her generosity and her garden, was killed on November 17 in her own home; her husband Brian survived, and their son David now faces a charge of murder. The law moves forward in its measured way, while a community gathers around the memory of a woman whose instinct was always to give more than was asked.
