Reporting of chess row killing

Sir, – In relation to the appalling killing of Tom O'Gorman (Home News, January 13th), I commend your decision not to disclose the more graphic elements of this tragic event.

It is a sad indictment of the society in which we live that other Irish publications failed to follow suit. – Yours, etc,
