The Murder of Joe Deacy

Looking at it from afar and with no connection to swinford it appears bizarre that progress hasn’t been made on this case.

yeah the case reminds me of a similar one in Dunleer in 2018 where 18 year old Cameron Reilly was murdered on a green area in the town where teenagers congregated on a Friday night. Supposedly there was 20+ witnesses to the murder but when Gardai went asking questions nobody would talk and there was heavy omerta locally with the 19 year old suspect said to be involved in a drugs gang. Even though everyone knew who did it it still took the Gardai almost a year to bring charges because witnesses wouldnt talk. Someone did eventually and its progressing through the courts but for several months it looked like he was going to get away with it.

Does anyone know in this case was it a big house party that was going on or just the victim there and the three suspects?

Yeah, one would suspect there’s some, potential, legal “Sword of Damocles” hanging over any mention of that line of “enquiry”.

And when you consider the, co-ordinated, online attack on the poor girl‘s memorial website the parents set up it just adds more fuel to the fire. I mean, back then, what group would have been “mobilised” for such a sustained campaign?

Then there’s the vandalising of the grave, not sure that’s common when the killer has committed their vile act after a “chance” encounter.

It’s amazing what people will do to “protect” family. Fair enough you take their side against attack or something “trivial” but if they’ve murdered someone there really has to be consequences.

I won’t say more on it as any thread mentioning that “case”, after it inevitable ends up back with the female suspect with close connections to a, former, high ranking provo, gets “locked”.

Possibly due to external pressure, even.

How have boards let this crap go on so long. Same poster talking to himself posting an agenda across various threads.

To be fair, I’d have more sympathy with them as they’d have to think of their own families in case there was “intimidation” or revenge from the drug gang.

I’m not Emmet. I don’t know if its been bothering you for long, but we aren’t the same person or poster.

The provo angle in the Murray case is one that is widely known about and spoken about in legal circles.

Just Joe Deacy and the three people as far as anyone is aware and no one has said otherwise. They're not suspects as apparently there will be no charges brought.

I'd imagine that the three of them will be called as witnesses for the inquiry, though.

Are they “obliged” to turn up or can they just say no thanks?

This was featured on... was it Prime Time a couple of years back? Broke my heart. Seemed like the loveliest, sweetest young lad. His parents his poor dad was in the depths of despair. As he said, someone has to know something. They've got to get the truth about and justice for their boy - this is monstrous. Both the crime and the agonising years since.

Imagine having the manslaughter of a young man on your conscience? It must be some weight.

Holy sh1t I had just presumed it was a house party after the pub and there was a good few people there. But literally Joe and three others and he ends up dead just an hour after he was texting a mate in England on Snapchat. Have the Gardai even brought these three in for questioning under caution? Sounds like they fcuked up royally here, I mean did they really believe the story about him falling down the stairs and just leave it at that, case solved, well done everyone :rolleyes: That story could only have come from the 3 suspects if they were the only other people there. Talk about easy to get away with murder.

The three are probably justifying it to themselves saying well he is dead now, there is no point any more people (i.e. us) suffering further. What selfish kunts.

It's a bit unfair to blame the local people of Swinford and Bohola who we do know over the late Mr Deacy who nobody knew..in fact after much searching I cannot find anything about the school he attended in St Alban's or anything beyond his GAA credentials....St Alban's is in Herefordshire the training base of the Special Air Service (SAS)..I would imagine a GAA club would be fairly out of place there...Did his high school award him for his work in cross community sports and cultural identity sharing ?...As an English schoolboy myself as a youngster it was the norm for schools in England to award students for cultural activity outside school hours ..?

Who was his head of house in England so we can ask ?..

If his school did not award him for his GAA activity ,were they against Irish sports ?.

Did the late Joe have enemies in St Alban's as everyone on Herefordshire thinks they are in the SAS..

Sgt Chris ODowd of Should in Co Mayo was one of its founders ..

There is so much about the late Joe Deacy that remains a mystery..and very controversial...a GAA man in Herefordshire cannot have been easy and with the airport only ten fifteen minutes from where he was found ,it could be plausible an enemy from his Herefordshire home had more motive than any local in Swinford or Bohola..

The answers to this are there in opinion and certainly not in the local population...these questions need to be answered first before suspicions are put on the citizenry of Mayo ,which seems to be the norm every time some Jack the lad from England decides he wants to play at being rebel in Ireland.

Going by the comments here it seems not much has changed regarding the targeting of innocent Mayo people,,which historically has proven unwise and why a culture of inhuman enforced silence gas always been the people's only defence in the face of such blatant slanderous attacks on the Irish country people ..

Still defenceless and rightful untrusting it seems for a the great talk of modernization and citizens rights..

My condolences of course to the family of the late Mr Deacy and I hope my words have not been to harsh ,however the silence on the British side as to Mr Deacy' life in Herefordshire is quite deafening and suspiciously so .

I hope you understand .

^^^^^^^ The mind boggles!

He was found outside a house of 3 people he has been staying with. 3 people who didn't seek help or him or travel in the ambulance to the hospital with it but you think it is more likely that a UK enemy flew into Knock to harm him....

What in God's name are you talking about? The only mystery and controversy surrounding Joe Deacy is the criminal investigation into his death.

Agreed. What are the Gardaí at? Still no word of an inquest, 4 years later... If ever I'm murdered, hopefully it happens somewhere the Gardaí aren't complete space cadets. I can't imagine the pain that the Deacy family are going through.

SunnySundays

Any update on this case?

It just remains unbelievable that he was known to be in a house and found within meters of ir yet no one has been charged with withholding information or perverting the course of justice or anything. Surely more can be done to get answers.

The whole thing is very disturbing ... it seems quite a number of people have direct knowledge of who murderded Joe Deacy.... it's only a matter of time this is too gruesome to go away

Have been fascinated by this case after seeing Joe's father's appeal on crime call this week.

A quick bit of digging around on Google and social media makes it easy enough to see why the investigation has gone nowhere.

One of the suspects has strong professional links to Mayo Co Council in a fairly senior role for an agricultural county.

It makes even more sense when you see the effort that the council went to in ensuring murals raising awareness of Joe's murder were removed.

The family behind this murder need to be behind bars, the highest levels of evil, corruption and typical Irish backwardness are to the fore in this case.

EDIT: Just to add, the senior role that this individual holds is a profession that would know quite a bit about post-mortems...

sugarman20

The fact that his death was initially seen and treated as a fall did not help matters. Whether or not that was deliberate is another interesting question to ponder. Fell where? Down the stairs and out into the lawn?! This stinks of corruption.

LawBoy2018

I honestly don't see how this case will ever be solved. Thanks to the Gardaí's negligence, there isn't a shred of physical evidence (as far as I'm aware).

The family in question obviously have no intention of coming clean and there hasn't even been an inquest - five years later! Disgraceful.

LawBoy2018

It would be interesting to know what Joe's "friend" is up to these days... He seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. Deleted all of his socials and we haven't seen him out socialising for years.

"Mr Deacy, who considered himself to be from Mayo – the home county of his paternal grandparents – was a regular visitor to the west of Ireland and had applied for an Irish passport shortly before his death."

Poor beautiful boy in the prime of his life callously cut down & killed in a place that was so close his heart, his families lives destroyed, probably for a slight on someones fragile ego. The craven vandalism of his memorials a reminder that the killers are protected and their allies are happy to cause further hurt in the dark of the night, never in daylight, never up front, like all bullies, cowardly, selfish, weak and pusillanimous.

I know, it's terrible. Hopefully the new lines of in inquiry referenced in the article above amount to something.

sugarman20

She told the coroner, Cróna Gallagher, that several witnesses who are outside the jurisdiction have still to be interviewed by gardaí.

Ah sure that might be a good idea alright.
