Funeral takes place of burned murder victim

The funeral has taken place of a man so badly burned that he could only be identified from dental records.

Father of two, William Trainor, from Gorteen Crescent in Limavady, was found by police behind the Masonic Hall in Limavady on 13 June.

A wheelie bin had been used to move the 50-year-old's body, which was discovered in a disused cattle market in the town.

Around 300 people attended today's service which took place at the home of Mr Trainor's mother at Coolessan Walk in Limavady. His body was then taken to nearby Largy Presbyterian Church cemetery where he was buried.

Two men, Liam Anthony Duddy, 40, and William John Wilson, 31, both with an address of Linenhall Street in Limavady, appeared at Londonderry Magistrates Court last Friday charged with Mr Trainor's murder.

Both men were remanded in custody to appear again by videolink on July 15.
