On Sunday night crowds of people turned out to St Vincent de Paul Church in Ligoniel for a vigil – which remembered the Singco family in hymns and prayer.

Both Cathrene Kith Quinones Singco and Ralph Anthony Singco died from their injuries after the car they were back seat passengers in crashed at Nutts Corner last Sunday (January11).

Requiem Mass will be held for them on Wednesday the 21st January at 12noon in St Vincent De Paul Church, Ligoniel Road’ at 12pm.

And a GoFundMe to repatriate the couple and their unborn child was halted after around £70,000 was raised in a matter of days.

Their family said that enough money had been collected to bring them home.
