The murders of two gay men in separate incidents in a town in Ireland, have left the LGBTQI community “reeling”. Gardaí – the national police service in Ireland – said they were investigating the two incidents as possible hate crimes.
Aidan Moffit (42) and Michael Snee (58) were found dead at their respective residences earlier this week in Sligo town in Ireland.
The police have arrested a man in his early 20s in connection with the case, but have refused to reveal any further information as the investigation is ongoing.
Moffit’s body was found on April 11 around 8.30 pm when Gardaí from the local station were called to attend a private residence at Cartron Heights by a member of the public.
