An investigation has begun into the death of a man | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
The police and Health and Safety Executive investigators | :00:10. | :00:16. | |

Our reporter Colletta Smith joins us from Kilclief | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
In the County Down coast and it was close to hear that earlier this | :00:26. | :00:40. | |
evening a man in his 70s lost his life at a farm. Tonight, police are | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
still at the scene, beginning an investigation into what happened | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
earlier on today. Cause this was a death at a farm, the Health and | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
Safety Executive are looking into the circumstances and trying to | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
examine the cause of the death of this man. Neighbours and friends of | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
the man are gathering at the host of eight and understandably are all | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
shocked. Family members have told me that this was a very private man and | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
that is a sentiment echoed by the local MP who knows the family. | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
Deepest sympathies will go to the bereaved of the family, the poor man | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
who lost his life in such tragic circumstances, to his three sisters | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
and his brother, who, I'm sure, will be in a deep sense of grief. The | :01:35. | :01:43. | |
farming community asked or call, strong and in support of that family | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
tonight -- Stoic. It brings home the death of somebody who was special in | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
their community and somebody who enjoyed life but above all loved his | :01:55. | :02:04. | |
farm and his animals and the work you did on a daily basis all his | :02:05. | :02:05. | |
life. Farming families across Northern | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Ireland are feeling the pain that this community has suffered as they | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
remember a man who lost his life doing the job that he laughs. -- | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
loves. A priest has urged young people | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
in west Belfast not to take the law He was speaking at the funeral | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
of Christopher Meli, who was beaten to death in Twinbrook | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
where he was visiting friends One of the teenagers accused | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
of Christopher Meli's murder Another had bail refused amid fears | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
that he would re-offend. Brumley and friends gathered outside | :02:37. | :02:48. | |
the home this morning. Standing silently as the coughing of | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
20-year-old Christopher Meli was carried outside before being placed | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
in a horse-drawn hearse. A lone piper played a lament. More people | :03:02. | :03:13. | |
joined, filing and for Requiem Mass. Fr Aidan Denny described what he | :03:14. | :03:22. | |
called stupid teenagers who did this deed. He urged people not to take | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
the law into their own hands, echoing the calls from the family. | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
The priest also spoke of the tragic loss which the family are having to | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
come to terms with. Nothing can prepare us for this and | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
we ask why it happened. The tendency is to say that it is the will of | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
God. Let us be perfectly clear, God did not will this tragedy to happen. | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
As they moved away from the church for boreal, Christopher Meli's | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
mother the Nessa clutched a picture of her. -- the Nessa clutched a | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
picture of him. A community in County Fermanagh | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
is mourning the loss of a seven-year-old boy who was | :04:15. | :04:15. | |
killed in a road accident yesterday. He was hit by a car | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
on Lattone Road near Belcoo. Here's our south west | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
reporter, Julian Fowler. Seven-year-old Ryan McGovern lived | :04:20. | :04:30. | |
with his parents and brothers a few miles from where he was killed. He | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
was struck by a car that was moving along the road. You later died in | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
hospital. This latest tragedy has left another family and another | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
community devastated. We are heartbroken. On behalf of the | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
whole community, I cannot believe how they are feeling because I have | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
a wee boy the same age and the play together for the local club. It is | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
very, very sad. For the school beside us, last week | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
they would have been full of the joy of Christmas. | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
Yes, and Santa Claus came to town and they were all playing. It is | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
desperate. Words can't describe it. I am devastated. | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
The police have appealed for any witnesses to contact them. | :05:32. | :05:48. | |
A man who admitted taking part in several attacks against the security | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
forces has been sent to prison. The Deputy First Minister Martin | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
McGuinness has praised the prominent republican Thomas "Slab" Murphy for, | :06:07. | :06:06. | |
what he called, "his invaluable support" | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
for the peace process. The South Armagh man was convicted | :06:09. | :06:09. | |
last week on nine counts of tax evasion by the Special | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
Criminal Court in Dublin. Here's Our Political Editor | :06:16. | :06:16. | |
Mark Devenport. For decades he was known as a | :06:17. | :06:29. | |
prominent Republican. He was charged with nine counts of tax evasion but | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
Sinn Fein said he was treated unfairly. Gerry Adams criticised the | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
choice of court chosen to deal with them which works with a judge but no | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
Judy. Ministers faced questions about Tom Murphy's case. Martin | :06:48. | :06:58. | |
McGuinness said it had been vital. It wouldn't have happened without | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
the support of people like Murphy. We need to understand that. Tom | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
Murphy has found himself before a court on revenue matters. There have | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
been business people found before courts but none of them are to be | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
described as criminals. Others didn't ensure those concerns. | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
A Robinson and thought it would be sheer madness to have the Murphy | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
case in front of a jury. I don't think there would have been | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
a different result but they would have been more susceptible to | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
pressures. There have been good reasons for a | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
number of years why we have had special criminal courts and continue | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
to have them. We believe it is important in the context of bringing | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
people to justice that every effort is made to ensure that we bring an | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
end to the scourge of organised crime. | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
Ministers confirmed that a new joint task force intended to tackle cross | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
force organised in Parliament Rotary crime will have a meeting next | :08:08. | :08:08. | |
month. -- Pala military crime. With a rain warning issued | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
for parts of the west, here's the latest weather | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
forecast with Cecilia Daly. We have wet and windy boreal -- | :08:18. | :08:33. | |
weather coming in over night and a weather warning. The rain is piling | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
up in the south west in particular. Still raining in many places first | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
thing tomorrow but that wet and windy weather will clear quickly. If | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
you are up early, it will be mild but there will be water spray and | :08:50. | :09:01. | |
localised flooding. Not a bad day for shopping later on. The rainfall | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
area becoming slow moving across northern England and Wales and | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
Scotland. It will get colder across Northern Ireland as the day goes on | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
but fairly dry with just a few showers around. That will lead into | :09:22. | :09:34. | |
the night. There could be some nice round on Wednesday morning. -- ice. | :09:35. | :09:44. | |
We are expecting that to clear to lead a fairly crisp day on Christmas | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
Eve with a few flakes of snow on the hills. | :09:51. | :09:51. | |
