A tragic eight-year-old boy mauled to death by two rottweilers has been described as a “superhero” in moving online tributes.
Friends and family of Glen Murphy recorded their respects in a poignant online book of condolence as they are unable to attend his funeral in the coronavirus outbreak. The child was attacked by the family dogs at his home in Saggart, West Dublin, last Monday.
Dozens of messages were left for parents Danny and Clare on a page operated by Brittas, Co Wicklow, where Glen attended St Martin’s national school. One read: “Those of us who knew Glen will have him embedded in our souls forever. RIP to Superhero Glen.”
His aunt Kelley Anderson wrote: “There are no words to describe the heartbreak we are all feeling.”
A small shrine of flowers were laid outside the driveway of the family home as locals tried to show support.
