Anu Okusanya

Anu collapsed and subsequently died after running to a friend’s house to raise the alarm after seeing a gang who had attacked her previously beating up someone else.

She had been walking home on her usual route to her house in Damolly Village on Wednesday, August 24 when she saw a gang beating someone up. The same gang had attacked her twice in the recent past.

Anu, who had been living in Newry for 15 months, ran to a friend's house to raise the alarm but when she got there she collapsed. She died the following Sunday.

There has been a great outpouring of support for Anu's family and in particular for her son Olaitan, who was due to arrive in Newry on September 12 to start a new job and a new life with his loving mum.

Her funeral is now due to take place on September 14.

The funds from this appeal will be used to pay for a gravestone for Anu, with the remainder being used to give Olaitan the best possible start to his new life in Newry.
