There was heartbreak yesterday as it became clear whales from a pod that stranded twice on a beach in Donegal had little chance of survival. The 13 long-finned pilot whales first beached near Falcarragh on Sundayy night nigh and a group of about 100 locals managed to return nine to shallow waters. Four of those died on the beach. But a number of whales, most about 5m long, stranded a second time hours later further along the beach on Ballyness yness Bay. The Irish Whale and Dolphin Group said it is the 13th stranding in Donegal this year.
GARDAÍ believe a computer programmer whose body was discovered yesterday was murdered several days ago and buried under a pile of rocks in a quarry. A man known to 41-year-old victim Adrian Folan was being questioned by gardaí in Galway last night. Detectives are believed to be working on the theory he was driven to the remote location near the Cliffs of Moher and strangled. Mr Folan, origi- Murder: Adrian Folan nally from the Carraroe area of Connemara and described by friends as ‘very talented and extremely bright’, had been studying for an MSc in software engineering at Athlone IT. Gardaí had issued an appeal for information about Mr Folan’s whereabouts. He was last seen at about 11.40pm in Athlone last Thursday. Early yesterday morning, gardaí arrested a man in his 40s in Carraroe. A subsequent search of the quarry near Liscannor in Co Clare revealed his body ‘buried’ under the makeshift rock pile. But gardaí believe he was strangled before being left in the quarry. A dumping area on the Headford Road outside Galway city was also searched. Gardaí have appealed for witnesses who may have seen anything unusual near the quarry at Kilconnell, Liscannor, since July 3 to come forward.
