Ballymurphy funeral for husband and wife who died on the same day 45 years apart

GVs from Ballymurphy, Northern Ireland, where a husband and wife who died on the same day 45 years apart have been buried together, after the widow passed away as his remains lay in a morgue following exhumation. Joseph Murphy, who was shot dead in the Northern Ireland Troubles in the early 1970s, was exhumed last year by order of a coroner investigating the disputed circumstances of the killing. His widow Mary, 83, died on Monday after a battle with cancer as her husband's remains continued to lie in a Belfast morgue. It was the same date Mr Murphy died in 1971.
