Bishop's prayers as couple found dead

Police discovered Michael Greaney, 53, and his wife, Valerie, 49, at their home in Cobh, Co Cork.

Their eldest daughter Michelle was found lying in the street after trying to flee the house.

Officers are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.

Bishop of Cloyne, Rt Revd William Crean, said: "I was deeply shocked to hear of the deaths of Michael and Valerie Greaney and the serious injuries suffered by their daughter, Michelle.

"I ask the faithful of the diocese to pray for all of those affected by these sad events.

"May the light of Christ, whose coming into the world we celebrate at Christmas, help to guide us through this great darkness which has fallen on the community of Cobh, and on the diocese as a whole."

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
