Principal describes ‘utter heartbreak and devastation’ after crash that killed Dlava Mohamed and Kiea McCann
‘A night of celebration became a night of suffering and heartbreak’ - Monaghan community rallies round families
Mr Mohamed said that he had lost people in his war-torn home country, Syria, but that the loss of his sister was different, more painful. “Everybody is speechless. They don’t know what to do or what to say... It’s hard to say anything, there’s a lot of memories,” he said.Mr Mohamed described Kiea McCann as a best friend, and a sister. “She was my best friend. She was in our house every day – she was like a sister to me. I’ve lost two sisters, and one in the hospital.
“All my friends have been talking to me for the past one, two days. They don’t leave me. They text me, they come to my house.” Speaking on RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland, the principal paid tribute to the “two beautiful girls” who were best friends. Kiea had completed her Leaving Cert Applied and Dlava had completed her Junior Cert and was to enter transition year.
“Kiea was pleasant and courteous. She had a great love of children, and she had hoped to go on to study childcare at third level. And that is a dream that will just not be realised.” People form a guard of honour as the hearse carrying the remains of Kiea McCann arrives to the family home in Clones, Co Monaghan on Tuesday.
