Lynette - she moved out, got a new life and a new habits etc.. couldn't believe it when I heard but could at the same time if you know what I mean. Her family still live here I think (I don't socialise much around where I live!!)

While I find this man despicable and there is a good chance he is responsible for some of these murders and disappearances, there is no proof that he has actually murdered anybody. 2 of the cases you posted earlier as being linked to him have been proved to have nothing to do with him at all. Maybe you should leave the investigating to the Gardai. Life in prison should mean just that. What does killing the criminal achieve? If anything being killed is less of a punishment than spending the rest of your life behind bars.

The boyf is not too comfortable about it all, thinks he's going to end up under the patio one day (I told him no, thats too obvious! lol) but back OT, how lucky was she? I really feel for her now, as I think I remember hearing that she has tried to push for him to serve the remainder of his sentence. She doesn't want him out and I think its wrong that her requests have fallen on deaf ears.

Its an absolute this disgrace that this guy is getting released. The punishment for attempted murder should be the same as murder as the intent is exactly the same. It was just through pure luck that that girl survived.

So an attempted murder should carry the same charge as murder, what about manslaughter or death from criminal negiligence? Someone actually dies in those cases and yet somehow the person found guilty serves less time than someone who just tried? I know this whole thing is an emotive issue but the naivety and internet hardman mentality of a lot of people is pretty pathetic to watch. I live in Blessington and can't say I object. Then again I believe in the rule of law.
aDeener wrote: » ehh bit of a difference between manslaughter and murder - there is no intent in the former. the only reason attempted murder is not murder is because of luck, it should be the exact same sentence. funny how you talk of the internet mentality when you yourself get all high horseman on everyone else here. my balls you wouldnt have a problem with this fella as your next door neighbour...... pathetic lie for the sake of being the "bigger man" you could do well to learn from what you spout here :rolleyes:

He was so organised in the abduction and assault of the Carlow woman, it's difficult to believe it was his first attempt. There's no evidence to suggest that he had anything to do with the disappearances of the above women but I'd be highly suspicious. Just another photo, we all should be able to recognise him.

I was watching that 'Psychic detectives' programme (could well be a load of crap) and one of them said JoJo's killer had something distinctive around his mouth...like a scar or something. I was wondering if it was Murphy's dimple:eek:.
Nevore wrote: » Yes, that's true, but the consequences are the same. What you want to instigate is a system where people aren't punished according to the consequences of their actions but rather their intent. If you can't see why that is patently absurd, I don't what else to say.

up for anything wrote: » Sometimes people should be punished according to their actions and their intent. He put that woman through a hell most of us will be lucky never to know. There was the force he used on her, the actual physicality of the three rapes, the battering she was subjected to in being in the boot of a moving car compounding the injuries she had already sustained, the physical pain of the the process of strangulation and added to those the sheer, mental terror, stress and madness she felt throughout the ordeal. The fact that she begged him to kill her can only mean that what she was suffering was completely unbearable but she had to bear it. Should all that really only carry a charge of attempted murder! Should he really be allowed now to try and rebuild his life. If I were her, New Zealand wouldn't be far enough away for me to move to in order to get a decent night's sleep.

Does anyone remember the case of the solider who did the same thing to a girl and murdered her in those flipping mountains.He was from walkinstown as far as i remember.Is he still locked up?

Nevore wrote: » No he should have been charged with multiple counts of rape, kidnapping, unlawful detention, grievious bodily harm and attempted murder. And there should be a statutory ban on judges allowing time to be served congruently rather than in succession. Our justice system is broken beyond all measure and this case is one example of how. He should have served more time BUT the charge of attempted murder should not be made synonymous with murder.

He was an ex army sergeant, he murdered her in 1979 but wasn't jailed 'til 2002 because of developments in dna testing and a false alibi being uncovered. I'd imagine he's still locked up. It probably wouldn't do you any good anyway to recognise him (Murphy) if you did happen to run into him. The girl he abducted from Carlow was taken off guard by a sudden smack in the face in a carpark beside her workplace. It wasn't a lonely road in the dead of night. She probably hadn't even seen him approaching.
