    It takes a special type of vermin to jump on someones head

    I don't know how anybody could do that to another human being. not even an animal would do it.

    It's surprising how often it happens without serious injury and so isn't widely reported. Disturbing thing to ever see.

    Thats horrible
    According to the article there was 8 people in the house when it happened you would think one of them would of intervened before it got so bad her life could have been saved

    Jaysus. That is even sadder. Very tragic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,801 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    does kicking/jumping on someone's head when they are on the ground count as intent? or will this be 5 years for manslaughter with 3 suspended?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,068 ✭✭✭LoonyLovegood


    It depends. If they can charge the animals who did this, they'll probably be charged with murder, but the jury could find them not guilty of murder/guilty of manslaughter or some such.

    The poor woman, whoever did that is an animal. Killing someone so brutally, and leaving a child without a mother?

    Speechless. Pure scum.

    It depends on witness statements.

    Most likely as was the case with Brian Murphy outside Annabel's, everyone involved will be advised by solicitors to say that they didn't see who it was that kicked her in the head, and the DPP won't be able to prove more than aggravated assault.

    You don't need to be John McClane to intervene when someone's kicking a defenceless woman in the head. Just someone with a modicum of human decency.

    I hope whichever lowlife did this gets the book thrown at them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,925 ✭✭✭✭anncoates


    I'd imagine it will be very hard to nail who actually death the fatal blow if it was a mob. They probably don't even know themselves. Unless they all testify it was one person.

    I was questioning the way that poster was assuming too much about who was in attendance. All we know is the unfortunate result. We know nothing of who was there other than the victim. It's not right to push the blame on people who weren't involved with the dispute, who could have run away in a state of panic and you question their humanity?

    Yeah, I would.

    This is very sad, I can't imagine what the last few weeks of that poor girls life were like.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,085 ✭✭✭SpaceTime


    That's just absolutely horrific.
    RIP and condolences to her family and friends.

    Whoever did that needs to be put away for a very, very long time.

    If someone kicks someone in the head, it's quite clear what their intentions are. There's a very strong possibility that they'll end up dead or severely brain injured and possibly badly disabled for life.

    I think we need to clear down the prisons to take people who aren't dangerous out i.e. people in for stupid stuff like non payment of fines and TV licenses and things like tax offences etc etc all those non-brutal things which could be dealt with through community service, attachment to income or other restorative justice type arrangements.

    That would give us more space to keep people who are genuinely dangerous out of harms way for a long time!

    And she has a little 18 month old Son too.. that is just so sad :(

    Poor girl.. RIP :(

    I hope the scummer or scummers get what's coming to them!

    I seen it happen once, in a shopping centre car park while I was waiting for food in the Chinese. I was actually shook up a little bit by it and I wouldn't be in any way squeamish, I was sure the guy was dead. The fella that done it had a little girl with him maybe 3 years old, his daughter I presume, he actually put the child down, gave the other guy a box and then stamped on him 2 or 3 times on the ground - that kid had to be traumatised. They guy he hit was a junkie, and absolutely in no way capable of defending himself at the time, he was only semi conscious to begin with. It was disgusting.

    I hope you reported this to the Gardaí.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,810 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    I didn't actually. I don't imagine they would have done much about it anyway. Junkie gets hiding - boo hoo. It's sad I suppose, but that's the world we live in. In any case i didn't recognise either of them and to be honest even if I did, i'd be more inclined to mind my own business than to report it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,085 ✭✭✭SpaceTime


    You should always report stuff like that.
    Just because someone is a drug addict or sleeping rough shouldn't mean you just walk past.

    :(

    The world we live in becomes more like that the more everyone just turns a blind eye!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,810 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    You're right in a way, in a perfect world you'd certainly be right, but personally speaking I wouldn't be too comfortable getting involved without knowing the story behind it. There were plenty of witnesses, cctv i'm sure, not really any of my concern. It's not like it was some little old lady, or a girl being dragged into the bushes or something like that. The guy had most likely done something to bring it on himself.

    The poor woman this thread is about was killed because someone thought she deserved it. Nobody does.
