The first picture of a husband and wife who were killed in a hit and run on Boxing Day has been released. Anthony Hogg, 40, and wife Georgina Hogg-Moore, 39, were tragically killed on December 26 on Blanchardstown Road North, west Dublin, while walking with their daughter near Blanchardstown Shopping Centre. Georgina was pronounced dead at the scene of the incident while Anthony died as a result of his injuries in hospital.
The couple leaves behind two children. A vigil paying tribute to the pair was held on Friday (December 27). A man has since been arrested after he presented himself at the local police station the evening of Anthony and Georgina's death. Georgina Hogg-Moore's sister, Katie Moore, paid tribute to her on social media and hundreds of other people responded with their own messages of condolence, the Daily Record reported. Katie wrote: "Thanks for all the texts and calls. As you can imagine as a family we are absolutely broken-hearted, but if anyone knows anything please come forward I beg.".
One woman who knew both sisters responded: "Oh my God Katie. I'm so so sorry. All my memories from school were of Georgina and her madness. So sorry." Another woman who knew the family said: "So sorry for your loss Katie. Georgina and Anto will be missed so very much by so many people.
"Sincerest condolences to you and your families. May they rest in eternal blessed peace. I know your Daddy is hugging them both up there. Sending yous so much loves and hugs. Such a shock. Such an awful shock." In a statement issued earlier on Friday, gardai confirmed a man in his 40s had been arrested in connection with the incident.
