Omagh bomb: The 29 victims

Advertisements

Described as a home bird by her husband Kevin, Philomena Skelton only visited Omagh twice a year – once in summer and once at Christmas – and was in the town to buy school uniforms.

Kevin was in the shop next to her at the moment the bomb exploded and her daughters, Paula, Tracey and Shauna were injured in the explosion.

He found Philomena, 39, in the rubble after the blast: “I reached for her arm to find her pulse and I could find nothing – I knew she was dead.”
