A SPECIAL exhibition that was due to open in Kilmallock library next week in memory of University of Limerick graduate Karen Buckley, who was murdered in Scotland last April, has been postponed.
The ‘Angels for Karen’ exhibition had been planned as part of the international Sixteen Days of Action Opposing Violence Against Women campaign and was due to open on Wednesday, December 9.
However organisers say the event has been postponed “due to unforeseen circumstances” and a new opening date will be announced in the coming weeks.
The exhibition features a variety of handmade clay angels, and was organised with the permission of Karen’s parents, John and Marion.
Karen Buckley (24), who qualified as a nurse in Limerick, was a native of Mourneabbey in north Cork but had strong connections with county Limerick through her mother’s family.
She had been studying in Scotland at the time of her death.
Alexander Pacteau (21), who was found guilty of murdering Karen in the early hours of April 12 of this year, received a life sentence for the brutal killing.
