Vigils are taking place across the country this week to remember Aidan Moffit and Michael Snee.
Both men were found dead at their homes earlier this week, having suffered significant physical injuries. Earlier today, a man in his 20s was charged as part of Garda investigations into their murders.
The deaths of Aidan and Michael have sent shockwaves through the Sligo area, among the LGBTQ+ community and across the country.
