Family left reeling following death of fourth close relative

A Dundee family reeling from the loss of three cousins over the weekend are mourning a fourth close relative.

Kyle and Kieran Walker, cousins of missing 18-year-old Ralph Smith and Julie McCash and David Sorrie, who died on Sunday morning, also lost their grandfather in a weekend of unimaginable tragedy for the family.

Kyle posted on Facebook: “Still don’t believe this. Losing three cousins and my grandad in the space of 24 hours, can’t get my head around it. “Love all my family so much.” His post was shared by his brother Kieran and received hundreds of responses from friends and relatives.

Connie Devine posted: “Life really isn’t fair. Love you all so much.”

Relatives of Julie McCash and David Sorrie were too distraught to speak to the press yesterday.

A woman who answered the door at Julie McCash’s home in Honeygreen Road said she was too upset to speak.

Ralph Smith’s mother Nicola Duffy lives in Dunfermline but is believed to be in Dundee where she is being comforted by relatives.

There was no answer yesterday morning at what is believed to be the Duffy family home in the Rose Street area of Dunfermline.

One neighbour, who did not wish to be named, said that while she did not know the family, she had seen them in the neighbourhood in the past.

“Everyone gets along but a lot of people here are quite private,” she said.

Still don’t believe this. KYLE WALKER
