Tears flow at emotional vigil for Bruna Fonseca who died violently in New Year's Day incident

A 28-year-old Brazilian librarian who died violently on New Year’s Day has been remembered at a vigil in the Lough in Cork as a “beloved daughter, sister, friend, a hard worker and a dreamer.”

Over 200 people attended the prayer service at 10am today with representatives of both the Brazilian and Irish community holding white candles and white roses during the celebration of the life of Bruna Fonseca.

The event was attended by Maria Fonseca, the 18-year-old niece of Bruna and her cousin Marcela Fonseca who are both living in Cork.
