It was also indicated that she was planning to celebrate her 21st birthday on Saturday.“She came to spend time with her fiancé … It’s an accident and accidents happen. We’re not blaming anyone. We’re not blaming the driver of the car.”Sources claimed that the driver was recently awarded a scholarship grant to complete his studies and become a pilot. The now dead woman’s relatives reside in Trinidad and family members of the fiancé are hoping that her family would be able to make it for the funeral, since they plan on organising the final rites for Saturday in accordance to Islamic rituals.“The only relatives she has in Guyana are us,” the senior Yearwood said. A post-mortem examination is expected to be conducted today.

Photo/GERALD ANDERSONThe West Pokot team pressed Bishop Njenga, who comes from Western region on their half and they could have broke the deadlock in the 21st minute with their first shot on target, but keeper, Stella Ahono saved Sylvia Baraza’s effort.Ahono once again came to Bishop Njenga’s rescue three minutes later when she bailed out his team with a top drawer save for a fruitless corner.However, Bishop Njenga finally soaked in pressure the 26th minute when the defenders poorly cleared a ball in the penalty box that had hit the woodwork for Martha to powerfully strike home.Tar Tar player heading towards Bishop Njenga goal.

FREED: MAN WHO MURDERED YOUNG DONEGAL WOMAN IS BACK ON THE STREETS
A man who butchered and killed a young Letterkenny woman has been released from prison just eight years into his 12 year sentence for another crime.Callous Conor Downey, 47, murdered innocent Suzanne Reddan in a London flat they shared in 1988.She was not found until 1992 after Downey confessed to police in England that he had strangled her. Parts of her body were discovered but her torso was never found.Downey served just three years in jail for the horrific murder of the young Donegal woman.When he left jail he returned to his native Cork.In 2004, Downey was then sentenced to 12 years in jail after being found guilty of attempted rape and indecent assault of a young woman.Just a few months after Downey strangled Suzanne Reddan in 1988, he broke into the Cork woman’s home and attacked her as she lay sleeping.He beat her so savagely that gardaí thought she was wearing a horror mask. He also attempted to rape and sexually assault her.Downey was never charged with this crime and returned to Cor in the 1990s.In 2000 however, 11 years after the sexual assault on the Cork woman, he was linked to the crime using fingerprint and DNA samples.Superintendent Brian Calnan told the Central Criminal Court that Downey was also convicted of assaulting a doctor who had collected blood samples from him.In January 2004 Mr Justice Kevin O’Higgins jailed Downey for 12 years. He suspended the final year of the sentence.Downey was released form prison last November and is living in Douglas, Co Cork.© 2011 donegaldaily.com, all Rights ReservedThe copying, republication or redistribution of donegaldaily.com Content, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited by law.Follow us on www.twitter.com/donegaldailyFollow us on www.facebook.com/donegaldailySell anything on www.donegaldailyclassifieds.comFREED: MAN WHO MURDERED YOUNG DONEGAL WOMAN IS BACK ON THE STREETS was last modified: January 17th, 2012 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Tags:Conor DowneyletterkennySuzanne Reddan

Marseille, Lyon in Ligue One match-day 13 headline fixture
Tags: BrestFrench Ligue OneLyonMarseilleNeymar JrPSG Lyon have won all the last four meetings with Marseille. (PHOTOS/Courtesy)Marseille and Lyon will clash in the biggest game of French Ligue One match-day 13 at the Velodrome on Sunday night.These two sides are one of the heavyweights of French football but have had to take a back seat as PSG exercise absolute dominance.Last season was on that saw both of them struggle despite Lyon somehow sealing third spot in the end.After a promising pre-season, both sides were expected to start strongly but it has not been the case and has also resulted to Lyon firing Sylvinho and replacing him with Rudi Garcia.Marseille will start the day in 5th spot with 19 points from 12 games.Without European action, they only have two more trophies to fight for after Monaco eliminated them from the League Cup a few weeks ago.Realistically, Andre Villas-Boaz’s will find it extremely difficult to match PSG in the League so it leaves them with just the French Cup as a more worthy target for silverware.A return to Europe is very much still on for them but Marseille will have to start winning consistently that is if they can make it to the champions league or at least Europa League.This season, they have only won back to back once, when they won three in a raw between late August and mid September.Form then, they have managed just two victories in their last 7 games. However, they have won two of their last three games with a 4-0 loss against PSG sandwiched between the two victories.Their last game proved how good a side they can get on a given day as they took care of a Lille side that is so hard to beat.For Lyon, they are coming off a 3-1 win at home to Benfica in the Champions League. This was their third victory on the trot after winning both of their last two league games.The influence of Garcia is starting to show as Memphis Depay and Moussa Dembele are now looking like the players they are supposed to be.In 11th spot with just 12 points, Lyon is still a shadow of the side that everyone expects them to be in terms of placement on the log.Coming into Sunday’s game, both side have no major injury issues.Marseille will still be without long-term absentee Florien Thauvin while Lyon are expected to miss the services of Martin Terrier and Fernando Mercal.Lyon have been dominant in the last few meetings between the two sides, having won all the last four games including a 3-0 victory in the reverse fixture last season.Marseille’s last victory in this fixtures dates back to May 2014 when they beat Lyon 4-2 at the Velodrome.Before Marseille hosts Lyon, PSG will be hoping to return to winning ways away to Brest on Saturday afternoon.After a run of four consecutive victories, Tomas Tuchel’s side was brought back down to earth last weekend as they lost 2-1 away to Dijon.This was their 3rd loss of the season and it must not have gone down well with the PSG hierarchy.The Parisians will be expected to come up with a response away to a Brest side has been fairing ok in the last month or so.The home side head into the fixture on the back of three wins in their last four games and have subsequently climb up the table into 9th position with 17 points.A win off PSG is unlikely but with a solid defence that has conceded just once in their last four games, Brest will come into the game targeting a point.PSG are still without the injured Neymar Jr who is expected back after the international break. Neymar is joined on the sidelines by Thiago Silva, Marco Veratti, Ander Herrera, Thilo Kherer and Thomas Munier.The last time the two sides met, Zlatan Ibrahimovic netted a hat trick as PSG beat Brest 5-2 in 2014. Brest has lost 6 and drawn one of their 7 meetings with PSG and it will take some sort of miracle for them to stop a wounded Parisian side.The other Ligue One fixtures to look out for include Monaco hosting Dijon on Saturday night, Montpellier at home to Toulouse on Sunday evening and Saint Etienne’s visit to Nantes on the same day.All Ligue One match-day 13 fixtures-Nice 1-1 BordeauxSaturday, 09-11-2019-Brest vs PSG @7:30pm-Monaco vs Dijon @10pm-Lille vs Metz @10pm-Reims vs Angers @10pm-Starsbourg vs Nimes @10pmSunday, 10-11-2019-Rennes vs Amiens @5pm-Montpellier vs Toulouse @7pm-Nantes vs Saint Etienne @7pm-Marseille vs Lyon @11pmComments
