    the mulhall murder case is all over the sundays today , can a society sink much lower . The mother and 2 daughters get drunk , then take ecsasty together, the mothers boyfreind, makes a move on the daugher. The boyfreind gets stabbed , then his body is dimembered , and body parts dumped in the canal. The boyfreind had a history of abuse to his partner , and had it coming in my opinion, and is no loss to society..But just reading the background to the case ,the bioligical father commited suicide last year , the 2 girls work as prostituse and are in abusive relationships themselves . has Irish society sunk to a new low ? its like something from dantes inferno , not modern day Ireland !

    There's always people like this in society, you can't fix it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,117 ✭✭✭✭MrJoeSoap


    Not to mention that at least one of the daughters had a heroin problem.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Nope, that family is just particularly scummy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    I don't think I've ever seen a more literal use of "dismembered"...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    That family is the "Underclass" in profile. Total trash on one level and yet proberly could have been a completely different story with an intervention at some point in the past.

    Funny, underclass was exactly the word that came to mind.
    These people live outside the realm of "normal" society; violence and abuse is the norm, alcohol and drugs are a crutch to get through the day. School, jobs, responsibilities are not a part of their reality.
    Sad situation; could easily have been reading headlines about how a family were destroyed by a murderous "foreign national".
    No winners here.

    The Tribune refers to them as the "underclass" also. The mother doesn't sound completely blameless either imo. Nearly brought up my breakfast reading about it this morning.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Aye....it'd put you right off your sausage sandwich...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,245 ✭✭✭✭Fanny Cradock


    My prediction: the harshest ruling will be a 5 year sentence (of which 2 will be suspended). One of the girls has a newborn, and, given the disparity in the law in such matters, I cant see this being a 10 year deal (for any of them).

    I was in a taxi there a week ago and the taxi man claimed that one of suspects is well known around the area (on the game). Apparently she's a complete nut job - the whole stabbing, killing and dismemberment thing would also indicate this - and now the taxi drivers are terrified that she'll strangle them with their seat belts or some such if they give her a lift. They wont go near her, and, instead, scurry into the shops to avoid her or the entire taxi rank will instantly clear if she heads towards them.

    Now that sounds like taxi-driver talk.

    Well, he was a taxi driver and he was talking. So, yeah!

    All with a pinch of salt i think :)

    Is there not a mandatory sentence if found guilty of murder?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,673 ✭✭✭Miss Fluff


    Yeah, life sentence is always mandatory for murder. Other sister was found guilty of manslaughter though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!

    Yeah, life


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,341 ✭✭✭✭Chucky the tree


    whats life though? minimum 10 years?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,741 ✭✭✭✭thebaz


    This case/story has everything -
    murder, suicide , abuse, heroin, family eating ecstacy, body parts, foreign nationals, prostitution -

    i know its haloween , maybe i should bid for the film rights or documentary !

    But in all this horror, 3 things struck me :-

    Mother and children sharing ecstacy , this is permissivness gone mad !

    The murder took place when all where high on ecstacy , as well as some of the body cutting -- i know during my E days , when i was high, i loved everyone !
    And finally one of the daughters has a one year old , who she is pleading to bring up in prison.
    Its just depravity gone mental !.

    No better way to celebrate out national holiday...

    Most stories in the rags you read have "everything" if they decide to give it enough column space. Thanks for sharing; I look forward to tomorrow's thread.

    Decisively on-topic: Down with this sort of thing.

    Has Irish society sunk to a new low?No. They were scum, already at the bottom of society and I somehow doubt that their antics have dragged down our society as a whole down with them.

    Karoma have you followed this case at all? Even a 10 second snippet from the radio would have told you that 'everything' as the other user pointed out are facts in this case.

    Its nothign to do with the 'Rags'


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Aye, even the red tops couldn't make this stuff up...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,396 ✭✭✭✭Karoma


    I didn't deny that the facts of this case as reported by the media; I just implied that reports from the media should be taken with a pinch of salt - especially by a particular user who seems to react to every sensational event reported by certain newspapers by creating a new and wonderful thread.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,296 ✭✭✭RandolphEsq


    The whole story is actually pretty funny to me. The way the women acted was so dramatically. Its like they followed movies as a guide for murder. Cut up the body and the head so it cant be identified. And then carrying the head around on a bus in a bag. lol its like some black comedy

    Sounds more like the a plot for "Saw Four" to me. He must have been
    pretty desperate to have been hanging around with those three horrors.
    Talk about loseing your head over an auld "doll". I feel sorry for the baby though. Imagine having to go through life with a background like that.

    from indo

    "Scissor Sisters"
    The trial of Charlotte and Linda Mulhall reads like the script for a nightmarish American crime movie. A mother, now missing, alleges she was repeatedly abused by her boyfriend. The assaults are serious stuff. She attends hospital and complains to gardai.

    After a night out drinking and taking Ecstasy, the boyfriend makes a pass at one of her daughters. He is persistent and has a violent history, including rape. The mother, who crushed up an Ecstasy tablet and spiked her boyfriend's drink so that he be on the same "buzz", tires of his conduct.

    "Please just kill him for me," she says. Charlotte obliges (a pathology report indicates that the boyfriend is stabbed more than 20 times). Linda later tells gardai that she hit the victim with a hammer after her sister cut his throat with a stanley blade.

    What next mam, the girls ask as they ponder Noor's lifeless corpse? "Just cut him up," she says. And so they do. Linda and Charlotte Mulhall take it in turns to decapitate and dismember their mother's lover.

    Chopping a body to bits is laborious work: they spend several hours sawing up the body with a bread knife and hammer before taking several trips to the Royal Canal to dispose of it. Sports bags conceal the horror from passers-by.

    Afterwards, the trio take the severed head (the penis is still missing) on a bus trip to Tallaght where it is buried in a park. But something tells Linda to go back. She does, moving the head to another location before bringing it in her son's schoolbag to a remote field in Tallaght. She kisses the bag and tells her mam's boyfriend that she is sorry.

    The dead man was no saint not that it excuses his death of course.

    Mike.

    to say these problems relate to people 'out side normal society' is just plain wrong. that family are society. and the upperclasses get through plenty of alchol, drugs and violence themselves.
