Strawberry seller viciously attacked

By Brendan Furlong


Monday August 17 2009

GARDAI are hunting a man who viciously attacked a teenage girl selling strawberries along the roadside with an iron bar.

Officers are appealing for witnesses after 17-year-old Aisling Murphy from Galbally, Enniscorthy, Co Wexford, was assaulted on the Wexford/Rosslare road close to the Whitford Hotel roundabout.

The appeal follows the attack of the student last Thursday evening. The assailant demanded cash and stole the young woman's Blackberry mobile phone. Wexford town gardai are now investigating the assault and robbery. Sgt Michael Troy said it was a horrific ordeal for the teenager.

"Wexford gardai are appealing to any motorist who may have witnessed anything to come forward," he said.

Speaking on local radio Aisling's father, Seamus Murphy, said she was still traumatised by the incident. "It's dreadful to think that such a thing would happen," he said.

Wexford town gardai are appealing for anyone with information to contact the garda station on 053 9122333.

So there we are - a young person can't even go about selling strawberries on a roadside to try make a living without being assaulted by some gurrier these days. What a great little country/cesspit this is turning into.

You're right, Ireland IS great. Good post!

I just kow someone wittier than me is going to make a joke about strawberries and blackberries, but on a more serious note, that makes me sick to my stomach. What a lunatic.

genericguy

everyone, please do your best to help the police with their inquiries, so that they can get this cnut off the streets. for 2 months.

She probably brought it upon herself. Was she charging "pre-recessionary" prices ?

Long Onion

I'm confused, was she selling strawberries or blackberries?

stovelid

Stay your hands, impetuous ones!

Has it been established whether or not she was a single mother and/or doing a Nixer while in receipt of social welfare / exceeding third-level allowance?

Either situation warrants outrage and punishment; both warrant possible sterilization.

Let us investigate before proceeding.

Yes. An absolute disgrace. A robber actually going through with their violent threats. Who woulda thunk it?

super_furry

Exactly, she could have been an unmarried Romanian mother working for a traveller from Borris under a false name and claiming the dole. Let's not judge until we have all the facts.

Sounds like sour grapes to me...

Nutters!!!
Maybe she was moving in on his patch.:rolleyes:

It certainly debunks the myth of strawberries as a healthy food source if you need a supplement of iron with them.

I see what you did there

Degsy

I'd do the same..these umarried asylum-seeking strawberry sellers are a modern-day scourge.

Long Onion

TBH, i don't think the clip tells the whole story - she was almost certainly selling new potatoes as well

Who cares if she was scamming the system. She did not deserve that. Makes me sick to think there are people like that out there.

we dont know the entire story .... all we know is what was printed.

its possible that she could be a single mother and the guy that did it was the father of the child ....or a jealous former lover.

maybe it was a random attack ...maybe the guy has spotted an opportunity to get cash to pay debts to banks/dealers or even bills.

Maybe its all sensationalised.

too many unknown facts - so we cant even claim the guys a nutcase (Ahem).... he could well be a desperate person or a career criminal

I know that girl..her favourite band is The Jam.

RIP.

I wonder did this roadside seller have all the proper documentation and licenses to peddle her wares...if not the Gardaí are partly to blame for this attack, for not moving her on or arresting her in a timely manner...

super_furry

Don't forget the EU subsidising the so called farming industry who made the strawberries. It's goes deep people.

I'm the iron bar wielding maniac, I did it!

Every morning this Summer I would walk by that bitch on the way to my job down the salvage yard with my pet lizard, Hercules. "Strawberrieeees. Plump juicy strawberrieeees" she would snarl at me, "Hey you, gypsy boy, come here you little ****, you didnt pay the strawberry tax". I just put down my head and walked away, every day the same thing. There's no such thing as strawberry tax.

Then she started throwing them at me, saying that if I didn't pay her the tax she'd come and get hercules. I had no choice. So yesterday, when she pelted one at me and it got Hercules between the eyes, I just cracked.

I'm not sorry. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I saw that fruit peddlar around Wexford ever again:mad: I'm so mad!

Mr Benevolent

I bet the culprit is an AH regular*

*Wasn't me

Seriously though, it's kind of odd why there's a sudden surge in violence around now. There's not particular reason for it, the economy is about to improve, scumbags have always been scumbags and I doubt they've been taking courses in how to increase their productivity. Also, most of this crap is from one paper. Is it possible that this has all been concocted (or confabulated, ho ho) for our reading pleasure? Far stranger things have happened, my fellow AHers.

JONJO THE MISER

But But did you see the price of Strwberrys this year.

Red_Marauder

Did you see the price of blackberries? She must have been making a killing. Someone had to stand up to her!

Bunch of f-ucking c-unts on ah as usual tonight. Hope these scum never meet up with you or any of your loved ones. You make me sick.

Any proof or statistics for this other than hearsay or tabloids?

Report them.

With any luck, they may get barred.
