Karen Cummings: Funeral details announced for Banbridge murder victim

The 40-year-old nurse was killed in her home last Saturday.

She will be laid to rest at St. Patrick’s Cemetery on the Dromore Road, just a short distance from her home.

Ms Cummings’ funeral will be held at 12.15pm for 1pm Requiem Mass in the Church of St Therese, Banbridge.

Her family has asked that anyone who wishes to make donations in lieu of flowers should do so for Daisy Hill Hospital's Paediatric Fund through Heaney Keenan Funeral Directors. The murder victim was a nurse at the hospital.

Hundreds attended vigils in Banbridge and Newry in memory of Ms Cummings last Thursday night where they stood in solidarity with her family and those of 24 other women murdered in Northern Ireland since 2020.

Two men have been charged with her murder.
