Murders of two gay men in Sligo

What a vile POS, those poor men and their friends and family, good to see that at least the gardai seem to have put a tonne of effort into catching him.

I hope this evil vile excuse fir a human really does serve life in prison. Life shoild be life no ifs or buts. He killed two people and tried to kill a third so really he should be serving 2.5 life terms in prison. So never get out.

I hope he rots in his prison cell.

RIP

Condolences to the families and friends of the two men killed.

Best regards to the man injured.

Chilling to hear that the perpetrator told members of AGS that he would have killed again if not caught.

"She sentenced Yousef Palani to the mandatory life sentence for both murders and imposed a 20-year sentence for the assault on Anthony Burke."

Does that not mean he will never be released?

Very small aside, any explanation why he had 250k in cash?

He gave it a go predictably, said he was hearing voices and that kind of nonsense. Didn't work.

At one stage he said it was “voices in his head” making him do it but - no psychiatric report was provided -

in other words the cowardly, evil scumbag attempted to use the mental health excuse when no such issue arose.

Terrible human being. He should never be allowed out of prison.

20 years on average:

Any update on the large sum of money found in the murderer’s house?

Apparently approximately 4% of people have anti social personality disorders such as psychopathy and sociopathy.

So everyone knows at least one person in their lives and has encountered a few in their life.

I've definitely known a few over the years.

Some of these people will be completely normal law abiding citizens. Others will be have histories of abusive and criminal behaviour.

I don't understand the motive in the Ashling Murphy case. Today's testimony shows him stalking another woman for a few kms so it looks like he set out to hurt someone.

Ireland is going to drown under the "it'll be grand" mindset.

The amount of money that will be spent on this guy until he is released is ridiculous.

I honestly think a lot of people do not actually contribute much in Ireland, myself included, it's all corporate tax shenanigans and bad debt waiting to bust.

But, this kind of stuff is just the cherry on top of the ******* train wreck of this country.

The Sunday Times had an article a few weeks back that stated he was from a very devout family. So possibly a clash of cultures going on. It’s an uncomfortable reality that not all people coming to Ireland will share our values (if indeed we have any shared values now). This is an extreme example of course but should certainly mean that there is no room for complacency. But I expect the case to be soon forgotten as it was one that raised many troubling questions about the future direction of Ireland.

The cash is probably being hid so they can stay in council housing.

I would think/hope it was seized?!
