Criminals that you went to school with.

freshpopcorn

Has anybody here being to school with any famous criminals.(You don't have to post names).
To the best of my knowledge there's being no past pupils who ended up murders/rapists in past few decades.
However we have had the usual drug deals. robbers, etc.
The biggest criminal was in my class in school has about 57 previous convictions for drugs, robbery, road offences, etc. He's currently in jail for about three years for drug possession.

Not famous, but lad I was mates with in senior infants, saw his name in the paper ages ago. Got a serious amount of time for armed robbery of a PO.

Jack Kanoff

I went to school in primary with a lad who you knew was going to be bad news...
Dropped out of school at 12...petty theft, muggings armed robbery & ended up dealing drugs.... then owed the suppliers quite a bit of cash so skipped to London... didn't hear about him for a number of years until his mother announced he's been found in a wheelie bin in 5 or 6 pieces :eek:

EPAndlee

Nobody I went to school with ended up as a criminal, so does that make me the criminal

MilesMorales1

There was a chap I knew in school, his family were travellers and he was always used to stink ****ing putrid so everyone took the piss out of him (Like I was bullied, and I know I played at least a small part in bullying him which I feel awful about) and he was always massively reacted to it. Found out a few years ago he murdered his girlfriend and her sister and her mother, then cut them up and put them in bin bags, left them in his car for weeks and weeks. In prison now.

buried

No, and back then I thought a good cross section of the demented lairy hoors would end up criminals. A lot of them ended up becoming police. Still time left I suppose

Went to school with someone who is now very well known, and high profile,CAB, Sunday World etc.

Back in the day, he was a nice guy, quiet, unassuming and very good looking.

A classmate of mine did time for manslaughter.

SEPT 23 1989

Not school but through extended family and business

theteal

Not school but maybe U11-U13 GAA. Two lads who you’d fairly easily find the news story about. Both got into the “game” (as The Wire has thought me it’s called) but on opposing teams. So about a decade plus after I knew them, one killed the other. Said killer went to prison. Said killer never made it out of prison as he’s no longer of this world.

Billy Mays

2 very high profile names

One was shot dead a few years ago, suspected himself of ordering multiple murders

The other is a "boxing promoter"

Cheerful Spring

Not School, but my friend cousin who lives in a rough area his brother is a well-known criminal. He appeared in Newspapers before and Tv and was involved in a big feud within a major city in Ireland. He doing life now for a gang murder.

corner of hells

Just the one , fairly serious fraudster .
He's an accountant and is a guest of prison service at the moment.
Houses , cars and boats that CAB are showing a lot of interest in.

Nope.

Not famous but a guy I was in school with and would have considered a good pal was up in court a few years ago for sexually abusing a young girl of 7 when he was 16, not sure how much time he did but it wasn't a lot, he's no longer a pal I can tell you that much.

Turtyturd

Fair few.

One was involved in the shooting (not the shooter) of a young woman about 10 years ago.

One bloke from my class who I was good friends with back in school was shot dead along with another bloke who was a year ahead of us about 3 or 4 years ago.

There have been plenty of others in and out for various things.

I went to school with a guy that was mad into smoothies.
He setup his own company selling them for mad money.

Went to school with this absolute and utter piece of **** scumbag

Pity he survived, i was hoping he died roaring the dirty piece of ****

Yer Da sells Avon

No proper criminals, really. The odd time, I see names from school popping up in the court pages of the local paper, but it's usually just motoring offences or the odd drunk & disorderly - sometimes both. There was one guy who did a short stint in prison for selling ecstasy in his late teens, but I'm fairly sure he never re-offended.

Guy I went to school with is doing time for murder. He was trouble back when he was a kid too, just never wanted to do the right thing.

cantdecide

One of my secondary school caretakers did time for an aggravated burglary involving an old woman being beaten. My third class teacher was a convicted paedophile.

Did he murder a lover or a criminal type?

A barber in my area when I was a teenager got arrested and jailed for possession and supply of weed.

I remember being astonished , I had no idea he was a barber.

Haha yeah the amount of labourers and tradesmen that never actually worked a day in their life is weird.

ifElseThen

Played football about 17 years ago with a few of the Freddie Thompson gang. Separately my best mate from school is a nephew by marriage to John Gilligan.
In primary school, Joe Rafferty was in my class. The dude who went bananas in citywest last year.

the purple tin

Only one murderer in my class that I know of. He kicked his friend to death on a night out. He was always bad news and constantly bullying and fighting in school.
A few classmates seem to be on a merry go round of drugs offences and shoplifting and the like.

aLou991

Went to school with a guy who stabbed someone to death. To be fair, it was total self defence.

The guy who was stabbed was well known to Gardaí, and had been arrested shortly before for dragging some guy out a car and beating the ****e out of him.

freshpopcorn

By the way the guy I mentioned in the opening article was in my class. My earliest memory of him was when I was in Junior infants I used have a few stickers on my bag and he used take them I suppose he never grew out of it.

riffmongous

I presume most of us are or know someone who's big into illegal downloading but of course that doesn't really count

KatW4

I don't know anyone from my own time in school.

A few parents of kids I've taught have ended up in prison for things like drugs, possession of guns and a serious shooting.

Airyfairy12

Not famous but one girl I went to primary school with tried to attack us walking home from school, a few years later she attacked my friend again after a teenage disco. About 10 years later I was walking through town and saw her across the street clearly on drugs. She was in and out of jail for robbery, assault throughout the years but about 2 years ago I saw her in the local paper involved in an unprovoked attack, she smashed a pint class in some girls face, physically attacked her and had to be dragged away, damaged the girls eyesight and caused her some pretty severe damage. Apparently the girl who attacked her thought she looked at her the wrong way which triggered the attack.
She's been locked up ever since, its really sad as it said in the paper she was molested from the age of 6 and had a really tough upbringing.

Another girl from primary school got addicted to heroin in her teens and was arrested for armed robbery in her early 20's.

Crouchy92

So a lad I went to school with is in prison in Spain now for stabbing a local to death in a drugged frenzy, when we were in school I thought I had put ice down his back but it was actually a small shard of glass (I probably wasn’t wearing my glasses).. anyway he went ape**** and attacked me but I laughed it off somehow

Ocaomh8791

I think my area breads criminals lol.
Have 'friends' that went on to be gaurds too. It's a nice little setup between them now, the crims and the lads that went to serve for the gaurds. All lining each others pockets through collision and drugs and paying off anyone that raises an eyebrow, or possibly worse.
One of the crims that forms a gang got jail in 2015 for 10 yrs for being involved in a murder, he's out in about 3 years I was told not to long ago.
I don't condone nor take part in these activities, as IV morals and tbh find it disgusting.

manonboard

I went to mourne road in drimnagh.

Fair few of class ended up in prison for drugs, dead, or prison for making other people involved with drugs dead.

One was terrible. Witnessed his gang mates killing someone, was given a horrible death in payment. He didnt even mean to witness it, just happened to be there at the time it took place. Torture before death, terrible way to go.

The school was becoming infested with such as i was leaving. I always wondered how it it went after that.
The Teachers were pretty decent, even if they had some of their own little issues. The troubles really did come from ****ty parenting, which was obvious from a very young age.

jim salter

Not famous but went to school with a lad who killed his father by gouging the leg of a chair through the fathers eyeball - he did 10 years. He was abused as a youngster. He had over 100 convictions for assault, robbery, armed robbery, GBH, ABH etc. etc. Was strange to see him sitting outside of a cafe on a cold autumn evening.

Two brothers, one who stabbed the other to death while drunk and high. Both were in 'the game'. Daughter of one of the brothers was considered Ireland's worst female prisoner in the mid '00's. She was present at the killing. Remember when she was really young and a lovely little girl.

CarefulNow!

Went to school with a lot of people in this feud, genuinely intrigued by what is happening. When I knew some of them they were genuinely nice but obviously I wasn't in the game so unaware of the life. It's beyond crazy when you associate

That's fascinating, please tell us more

I went to school with a girl who got caught bringing drugs back from Grenada in a load of sandals. I remember having to look at a map to find out where Grenada was. I'm pretty sure she went to prison for that... Separately from a different class, there was a guy who murdered his girlfriend in Spain. It was weird watching him in the news on the TV.

Paullimerick

Went to school with a fella who you'd say was a grand fella. Until a few years ago he lost the plot and stabbed to death his gf, her friend and 2 children one of them was his own child / baby with a screwdriver. Really makes a person wonder what clicks.

A childhood friend of mine from my small village ended up in jail for murder. He was a nuisance in his teenage years at school but pre-secondary school he was a decent lad and taught me lots (to a young person) about nature and so on. Also helped me learn how to ride without stabilisers on my bike.

Funny I saw him the day after it happened before he was arrested but rumours were rife. Was kind of surreal when he greeted me I managed to return the the hello. Few hours later he was taken in.
