Anglesey crossbow murder victim 'deliberately targeted'

A man killed by a crossbow arrow on Anglesey earlier this year appeared to be 'deliberately targeted' at his remote home near Holyhead, according to police investigating his murder.

74-year-old Gerald Corrigan died in hospital at Stoke-on-Trent after being shot early on Good Friday as he tried to adjust a satellite dish outside his home.

He had worked as a lecturer in photography and video in Lancashire before retiring to Anglesey more than 20 years ago.

His funeral was held yesterday in Knutsford, Cheshire.

In a tribute to him, Mr Corrigan's partner Marie said he was her "best friend and soul mate."

She described his death as a "senseless murder".
