'There’s no way he deserved to die like that.”
This is the first picture of the Co Tyrone man who it is suspected was thrown off a cliff in Donegal.
He said: “I won’t have a bad word said about that man. He was sound and a brilliant worker. He’d be in the yard at 6.45am in the morning with the lorry loaded and gone by 7am. Donegal gardai have been investigating the incident since it was reported to them on Monday, June 26. As revealed this week, Wilkin was last seen in public enjoying live music at Mac’s Bar in Dunkineely with two people hours before his horror death.
But now gardai from the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation have been drafted in to assist in the case. Gardai have not made any fresh arrests since the body find on Monday. It was initially an assault probe but all the resources of a murder investigation have been allocated to it.
