Two men have been convicted of the attempted muder of Belfast priest Father Kieran Creagh in South Africa.

He was shot last February when a gang broke into the Leratong Hospice, set up by Fr Creagh for people dying from AIDS.

In 2004, Fr Kieran Creagh was elected International Person of the Year in Ireland in recognition of his work with Aids patients.
