Summary: In Kenya an Irish priest was robbed and then murdered in his home on the outskirts of Kericho. The name of the priest is Fr Jeremiah Roche, and he was murdered at the age of 68. Jeremiah was a member of the missionary in the country for more than 30 years. His death was a tragedy to the Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs Michael Martin, "shocked and saddened to hear of the death of Fr Roche in such tragic circumstances".

Compare&Contrast: Both of these articles were fairly short, and different. In the BBC article, they never explained how the priest was killed, but unlike the New York Times article it was stated that he was stabbed to death. The BBC article only stated one quote, the New York Times article states two quotes. The BBC article has a picture of the Irish priest and the New York Times article doesn't.

Opinion: My opinion about the event was that its such a terrible thing to witness a man murdered by a group of "gangsters", but its even worse to see a Priest die from murder after all the good he has done for 30 years. It just makes me mad to think a bunch of "gangsters" would just kill someone like that while robbing his stuff. My opinion about the article is that they both were pretty well written and provided a lot of information. But i felt that the New York Times article was a bit more confusing than the BBC article, because the New York Times article claimed that a police officer said he died on Saturday, but it also says that Jeremiah was murdered on an early Friday. That just makes me really confused about when he died.
