Man arrested in Elaine O'Hara case

Love2love

A 41 year old man was arrested in Foxrock, Dublin in connection with the death of Elaine O'Hara this morning.

I know this story was followed by a lot of people in AH.



I'm not able to link on the mobile.

According to the Indo, the man has been suffering poor health as of late and this stalled their raid.
They swooped in to his place at a dawn raid this morning.

Probably because he knew the net was closing in..

It may have been an accident, in which case he was very stupid to not notify any authorities.
It'll be interesting to find out if he placed those items up there with the intention of them being found.

Cheers for that, very interesting development.

Such a tragic case.

Very interesting - they described him as a 'prominent businessman' who has never had any Garda attention before. I'd say a huge shock to the poor wife and kids.
Speculation will be rife as to his identity.

They've done all but name him. The age of his kids, his job, where he's based, his age... They mention that he's a senior figure in the company,

Pretty sure it goes without saying but no speculation on names or other identifying information on thread please.

The Burbs eh? If it does indeed prove to be a connection through the certain common interest that the Gardaí and media have published widely the victim had involved herself with, then it is bizarre case. You never know what the neighbours are up to

You'd of thought that "if" it was murder he may have considered going abroad, especially if he knew they were going through her internet history and were closing down on the culprit

If it were the case, he still has a wife and two kids, and a house that's a lot of baggage to have to pick up and abscond without raising suspicions. Most of all from his missus!

I suppose....it could also mean that it may have been an accident, I dunno

The fact that it took the Gaurds a whole year to go through this woman's computer or browsing history is pretty baffling....surely that would be one of the first thing the gaurds or a relative would do to track down a missing person

I was just reading the Daily Star from last month.

GARDAI were last night hunting a crazed sex killer

Does anyone know what exactly a 'crazed sex killer' is?

Someone said on the last thread that the reason they didnt was because if she had turned up, then she wouldnt be happy that they went through her personal belongings. They ad no reason to suspect foul play at that stage.

What a load of rubbish, if one of my siblings was missing more than a few days, let alone over a year, I'd be checking their computer to find out or narrow then where they might have gone

When he knew they were closing in, surely just run?
Maybe he wanted to be caught

I would say (purely speculatively if was indeed involved), that he was hoping they'd never arrive at his front door.

His choices were
1. Abandon his entire life and family to go on the lamb which he would raise immediate suspicion by doing.

OR

2. Sit there and deny any involvement down to the ground where he has a small chance of potentially saving face.

Eh? What?
How would him being famous or not in any way change the fact that a family is grieving the death of their daughter/sister, and a wife and kids are dealing with their husband/father's guilt

You would, but the Gardai can't just go ahead and do it, there are limits on how they can access private information.

Anyway, that's a bit moot since they had apparently already gone through the information, but from a missing persons' perspective.

When you go through it a second time from a murder perspective, you will view a lot of activities differently.

I love how the papers are champing at the bloody bit to name this guy. Revealing enough information that anyone "in the know" in South County Dublin will probably be able to make a stab at guessing his identity.

I read somewhere that any evidence that the Gardai get from a missing persons computer/phone could not be used in a court as they did not have the persons permission in the first place. It is only when the body of the missing person is found can they look.
I presume that in the case of a minor the parents can give permission.

Well done to the Garda and anyone who assisted in solving this tragic case.
I hope the family finally get closure and can return to something of normality.
I now pity this man's poor wife and family if he's guilty.

I suppose they were talking about the theory or fact i dont know that they met on a niche or weird sex or whatever turns you on site.This fella has a lot to answer for top job or not foxrock or not he has a lot to answer for.,He was not arrested for no reason.Some people are suggesting it could accidental without even hearing any evidence.THe gardai were on the case and they have arrested an upper class man from foxrock and good luck to the gardai with their investigation. hopefully it wont be another case like your man on griffith ave who walked free after sexually assaulting a girl and yes he was another upper class man another nice upper class citizen.

I am not going to give any identifying information, he lives around the corner from me, I dropped my daughter to the bus this morning, we noticed 4 guards in an unmarked car close to his house. Both cars have been removed by the guards. The house is currently being examined.
The accused has a facebook page as has his wife. The house is covered in Halloween decorations. I feel very sorry for Elaine's family and I equally feel sorry for his wife and kids. A friend of mine originally owned the house, his business went bust, he sold at the top of the market 1.3 million, bought a house nearby for 500,000 and pocketed the difference, his pension.

I was on that site before where ms o'hara was on and I found out very fast that the irish kink/fetish/bdsm community is full of liars and cheats and power hungry control freaks. There's a lot of dickheads hurting people and it's outside the realms of consentual bdsm. I left very fast.

Poor Elaine O'Hara.

Just to add another fact, the place has been crawling with journalists, a TV crew, the media know his identity, I presume they are waiting for him to be officially charged,

Would the general public know him?

I hope they take him to the cleaners.

I also hope sites like what I was on gets closed down and banned.

I would have described myself as a kinster or fetishist. I met some nice people at munchs. I met with someone for more and it brought me nothing more but sheer heartache.

It's a breeding ground for abuse. Nothing else.

As far as I am aware the person arrested hasn't been charged with anything nor mind convicted. Bear that in mind. The rumour mill is starting to grind here now. Continue in this fashion and action will be taken.

You can bet he's got a sh1t hot lawyer. How long can they question him for, up to seventy two hours afaik?

I was thinking the same thing. Wouldn't surprise me if it was out of date etc... it'd be the worse ending imaginable to this case:(

I have never come across him, I referred to him as the accused, innocent until proven guilty. <snip>

In tabloidese it's a close cousin to the 'Sex Beast'. I'm not sure what a Sex Beast is but I always picture a Rhinocerous that's been shot up with a ton of Viagra.

You're dead right - the media are dropping all types of hints:

According to : http://www.rte.ie/news/2013/1017/480929-elaine-ohara/
'The man in custody is an honours graduate of the National University of Ireland.

He has no criminal convictions and has never before come to garda attention.

The man has been working at a senior level in a business in Dublin city centre for the past 12 years.'


The SW reports that he was an architect
http://www.sundayworld.com/top-stories/crime-desk/architect-arrested-for-elaine-ohara-murder
'The well-to-do professional – who drives a luxury car – has no history of criminal activity and has never come to the attention of the gardai previously.'


All reports indicate that the man was 'shocked' when the raid occured this morning.
Perhaps the coinage 'innocent until proven guilty is working. While he may potentially be guilty of infidelity, that does not necessarily mean he is guilty of murder.
Maybe he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time
