Best friends Kiea McCann and Dlava Mohamed were killed in the single-vehicle crash on their way to a debs ball in Monaghan
Gardaí were hopeful that the male teenager could be interviewed immediately and may have valuable information about how the crash occurred as he remained conscious throughout.Cars bringing teenagers to the debs were travelling in convoy, and friends and neighbours were first on the scene of the crash which happened at 6.45pm on Monday evening.
On Tuesday night, the community formed a silent guard of honour as remains of Kiea McCann left Clerkin’s Funeral Home in Clones and travelled to her home at The Diamond in Clones. “A night of celebration became a night of suffering and heartbreak,” said Fr Peter Corrigan, as he opened 10am Mass at the church. Fr Corrigan asked those gathered at the church, which looks out over St Tiernach’s Park, to remember the two young victims as well as their families and friends in “a special way”.
Fr Corrigan said the tragedy would be felt by the whole community of Clones and surrounding area for “a long time”.Over at Largy College, where both Kiea and Dlava were students, a black ribbon was tied to the gates of the school, where a bunch of flowers also lay.
