O'Connor funeral takes place in North

The funeral has taken place in Armagh of Gareth O'Connor, who had been missing for over two years and whose body was discovered in his car at Newry Canal last weekend. 

His family believe the 24-year-old father of two had been abducted and killed by the IRA, but that group denied involvement.

Mr O'Connor had been facing charges of membership of the Real IRA.
