'93 injuries on her body': Why the family of Kelly Lynch believe her death is suspicious

The body of 23-year-old Kelly Lynch was found in a canal in Monaghan on the morning of St Patrick’s Day 2024.For 30 hours, her mother Julieanne had been unable to get in contact with her daughter who had travelled over the Border to visit her boyfriend. Increasingly worried, she got in the car to drive to Monaghan to find her.While she was in the car she received a call from the Garda with the news every parent dreads. An Garda Síochána initially determined that the young woman had fallen and that her death was an accident.However, her parents John and Julieanne believe that there is so much about their daughter’s death that needs to be explained, not least the 93 injuries found on her body. They have been advocating for Kelly since that dreadful day.Julieanne tells In The News the issues the family has with how Kelly’s death was handled and how The Katie Trust has been helping her; while former PSNI officer and founder of The Katie Trust James Brannigan explains how his organisation is helping so many bereaved families who have been left, like the Kellys, with questions.Presented by Bernice Harrison.
