Tears flow as slain teenager poems are read
A PAIR of leopard skin shoes and a teddy bear were among the poignant reminders of Rebecca Kinsella's tragically short life.
At the age of 19, the young Dubliner had been enjoying all that youth had to offer.
Photography was a particular passion for the keen-eyed art student, and she indulged a love of fashion by working for the River Island high-street clothes chain.
It was a life that was cut short in the most horrific of circumstances last week when she was stabbed and beaten to death in her own home.
Yesterday, there were scenes of inconsolable grief at her funeral Mass in Lucan where crowds of mourners stood in lines stretching out the doors of St Mary's Parish Church.
Those inside included her mother Leonora, father Joe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and boyfriend John Leech, as well as her great aunt Alice who celebrated her 90th birthday only months ago with Rebecca.
Others mourners included grandparents, family friends, neighbours of her family home at Grattan Park, Celbridge, Co Kildare and from her former home at Esker Lawns in Lucan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as well as fellow students from the Faculty of Applied Arts at the Dublin Institute of Technology on Mountjoy Square.
The teenager was someone who had lived life to its fullest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Fr Terry Smyth told them.
"I was told that she was a great person for hugs. She was a very jolly person who was full of fun and laughter," he said.
The priest added that one of the things that had really touched him was the placing of a chocolate egg in her coffin - to replace one she had missed when it had been lost one Easter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
He pointed out that the church was the same one in which she had been baptised,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], received her First Communion and had been Confirmed. "So it's really like bringing her back home,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he added.
Later,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the gifts that were offered at the altar included Rebecca's leopard skin shoes - symbolising her style and poise - a bracelet from her school days,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a framed picture of her and a collection of some of her drawings.
There was also a heartbreaking reminder of Rebecca's creative talent when some verses she had written were read out,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"Photographs are evidence that I was once five years old; That I was once in a place that I am not right now. Baby shoes; dresses; old teddies and photographs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she wrote.
"So many things happened in my childhood that I was too young to remember. Photographs are proof that some things did actually happen." Following the Mass,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she was laid to rest in Donacomper Cemetery,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Celbridge.
A 16-year-old boy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who cannot be named for legal reasons,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is due to appear at lunchtime today at Naas District Court in connection with Rebecca's death. He appeared last Thursday at a Children's Court sitting at Kildare District Court,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where he was charged with her murder and remanded in custody at St Patrick's Institution for Young Offenders.
