No details have been released, this is how malicious rumours are started.

Accused/Defendant/Suspect's name or reputation shouldn't be tarnished on a website read by Galway people (Galway forum)

Like i said at the start,im not saying its true.Also did not mention any names nor did i go into details.Malicious rumors start over the shop counter this my friend is not malicious nor was it heard over a shop counter.
I understand its a touchy subject.Unfortunately these days in most cases we know the details long long before an official release.

If i said "it is aledged" would that suit better?.Alot of News reports start off that way.I think its up to individual board members to make up their own minds.From what i read they all seem pretty intelligent to me.

Rumours should not be posted here, if the thruth is going to come out then let it come out. The investigation is ongoing. Please refrain from posting what you may have heard, it can only do harm.

Never said it was.Hense "i heard".Even if its from the horses mouth it would be stupid for me to say my source.But Yes it was wrong and insensitive of me to post.I apoligise.

The internet is a public forum, it is not a place for 'He said, She said' especially when the matter is so delicate.

I have reported your post, I hope it is removed since you wont choose to remove it yourself.

I dont know how i can remove where i have been quoted.Either way you saved me the hastle cheers.
I find it a bit strange that people didnt mind so much the "hearsay" when that farmer shot the traveller in Mayo,strange that?.Seems its acceptable for some parts of society but not for others.

While this is a delicate matter, this is also a discussion forum. padi89 did nothing *wrong* in my view, I had heard similar - though I prefer to wait for news with solid sources etc. As the post has been edited (and reported twice) I think we can move on.
However, his post was not malicious, nor was it anything more than people would talk about in person.
Hobbes was right though, if a little terse. No point posting 'rumours', even with a disclaimer indicating lack of solid sources.
Let's not get bogged down in comparing Situation A with B, as they're two different sets of circumstances.

Tragic nonetheless.

padi89

Well its on the news now.Feck i know the guy from around,lived down the road from me,met him a couple of times with guys i know.Always seemed fairly chilled out,was big into the cycling.Sad,very sad.

JohnCleary

Wouldnt you if you were in the same boat

Owh man.

I knew him fairly bloody well actually. Saw his picture and name in a newspaper. Tried figuring out where I knew him, and then someone says it here. We used to be in the same cycling club years ago. He seemed like such an incredibly nice guy, so it was strange when I heard that he was the boyfriend.

dwayneburke

did he go to the bish by any chance, look like a guy that was a few years below me?

BillyGoatGruff

Think it was his older brother that was in to cycling in a big way. They look very simalar.

LApam

So, whatever happened to this guy? Sounds to me that she put up one Hell of a fight! Good for her!

Man charged with Galway murder

13 June 2006 19:30

A 25-year-old Galway man has been charged with the murder of a 23-year-old woman in the city.

Patrick Hogan of Father Griffin Avenue, Salthill in Galway was charged at a special sitting of Galway District Court this morning with the murder of Karen Guinee of the same address.

The murder is alleged to have taken place between 9pm on Saturday and around 6.50am yesterday at Father Griffin Avenue.

Det Sgt Willie Byrne gave evidence of arresting Mr Hogan at 9.55am yesterday and said he formally charged and cautioned him at 10pm last night.

Judge Mary Fahy remanded the accused in custody to appear at Harristown Court on 16 June.

It is understood Ms Guinee was originally from Co Cork and had recently graduated from university.

Gardaí have confirmed that following a post mortem on the body of Ms Guinee by the State Pathologist, Dr Marie Cassidy, the cause of her death was manual strangulation.

Speaking of Griffin. One of the most infamous events of the Black and Tan period was the murder of Father Michael Griffin, who was a curate in Saint Joseph's Church in Galway. A man who was supposed to have been an informer went missing, and was presumed to have been killed. Someone told the Black and Tans that the murderer had confessed to Father Griffin. They lured the priest out of his house on Montpelier Terrace, brought him to Lenaboy Castle, where they tortured him, and eventually killed him. His body was dumped in a bog in Barna, where it was discovered a few days later. His funeral was to receive huge international publicity, because of the fact that Fr. Griffin would not break the seal of confession. It was attended by many thousands of people There is a monument to him at the location where they found his body in Barna.

Very good history there, love hearing about history around XMas time. There's a plaque on Sea Road outside the house, isin't there? Now property of Forde's solicitors if I recall?!

On a side note, what ever happened to this so called murderer thats in the topic? Such a sad story

Reported JohnCleary's post 2 days ago at this stage.

The guy charged with murder is still awaiting a trial date, that's what I'm on about. State pathologist needs more time.

John, could I ask you to edit/remove your original post because the mods seem to be away. It's not constructive to turn it into a sex scandal without anything to back it up and it should not be allowed in a public forum in my opinion. Putting a disclaimer of 'could be bull', does not make it any better either.

I'd appreciate it if you would review your post, John.
