A former Irish soldier who killed three of his colleagues in the Lebanon in 1982 has been released from prison in Co Antrim.

Michael McAleavey has served 27 years of a life sentence.

On 27 October 1982, the then 21-year-old shot dead three of his Irish army colleagues while on peacekeeping duties in Lebanon.

Originally he had claimed that Corporal Gregory Morrow, Private Thomas Murphy and Private Peter Burke had been shot by Lebanese gunmen, but he later admitted that he was responsible.

He said he had 'snapped' blaming a combination of dehydration and heat exhaustion.

Almost a year later he was sentenced to life in prison.

After spending time at various jails in the Republic his application to be transferred to Maghaberry Prison in Co Antrim was granted.

The West Belfast man had made the appeal on humanitarian grounds in order to be closer to his family.

Today a spokesperson for the Northern Ireland prison service confirmed that Michael McAleavey had been released following directions from the Independent Parole Commission.

It was decided that Mr McAleavey should be released as he met all the conditions for his release.

He was freed on a life licence which means that if he breaches the conditions of his release he will be recalled to prison.

It is understood that one of these conditions is that he does not speak to the media.

Then..



Now..

Scumbag, its things like this that make me hate the country i live in, that guy should have been left to rot in the basement of some prison, far away from human contact. No man that does that is human.

R.I.P to the brave fellow Irishmen that lost their lives that day in '82, my thoughts are with their families at this horrible and distressing time. R.I.P guys.

He is a cold blooded murderer ,a phyocopath who shouldn't have being allowed join the army nor let near a weapon of any kind and only went out to the Leb as a last minute replacement . He was the worst kind of attention seeker and his anti semitisim was well known , and also good enough reason not to let him go out to that region .

R.I.P to those 3 young men

Morpheus

This is Ireland, where life never means life.

They should have executed him out there.

Sick to my stomach of sentences being reduced on humanitarian grounds for utter scumbags like this piece of filth.

R.I.P. Gregory Morrow, Thomas Murphy and Peter Burke

Complete and utter piece of filth. He should have been put up against the wall for what he did. I hope he is found facedown in a canal or ditch soon.

RIP to those three brave men.

Caught it, listening to Pte Burkes mother 'Mary' was heart breaking.

As for the retired detective, you could hear the pure hatred he had for a mass murderer.

For the few few weeks he stuck to his story that member's of the PLO had attacked the checkpoint.

Only read up on this since I saw this thread last night, shocking incident.

As an aside, is it normal for a military man tried and convicted by a court martial to be incarcerated in a civilian prison? Or is it due to the fact that he was discharged from the army before being imprisoned?

Morpheus

What an animal, he should have been thrown on the scrap heap and forgotten about, i feel sick listening to this about him.

BigDuffman

Dirty f***ing murdering filth....evil b*stard. Does 49 entry wounds on one body not give an indication of the pure and utter psychotic nature of this murdering scumbag. Psychopath deserves everything coming his way. Prison guards on talking about their experience with him. "Model prisoner" my arse.

Human excrement.

He was released from a NI prison on the ruling on a NI judge

In 2008 the North’s then lord chief justice Sir Brian Kerr ruled that he must serve a minimum prison term, or tariff, of 27 years. He passed that tariff by a month on Monday when he was released on licence under the authority of the North’s probation board.

syklops

Did he ever give any reason for doing it?

I know his excuse was de-hydration and stress, but he pretended on his radio that they were under attack, and the manner in which the men died, in particular the final execution style shots fired dont look like someone who just lost it under fire.

On the flip side of that coin we first released him after just 11 years but he was re-arrested on a drugs charge and sent back to finish his sentence.

Scum of the earth.

PLO as far as i know never harmed any Irish soldiers, But the Christian militia (who are backed by the israelis) did. Remember Derek Smallhorne who was murdered by them.
RIP to all the lads who were murdered in lebanon.

Thanks for that little gem, but its completely off topic so I'll refrain from correcting you.

This is about the murdering bastard McAleavy.

Oldvickers, thanks for the facebook link - joined.

Bring back the death penalty for murder against members of the GS and Defence Forces, shooting three people for laughing at him??
The soldiers should have had a ND in his face back in '82 and sorted it back then and saved the State a load of money for housing and feeding this monster for so long!!!! :mad:

I can see emotions are high here and I am not trying to stir it. But are there any mitigating circumstances? I caught the piece yesterday about an ex soldier in Iraq now contractor facing the death penalty over killing 2 of his collagues, the familty are claiming PTSD.
It didnt sound like it was premeditated? did his officers ignore any warning signs in his behaviour leading up to it?

Slightly off topic but the dignity and strength of Mary Burke is nothing short of incredible.

I wouldn't take Joe Duffy's word on whether someone should live or die.
But I don't think that the sentence served is sufficient either.
As the southern prison service are responsible for his initial transfer north, perhaps they could find another reason to serve an arrest warrant?

Admit it, you didn't bother listening to the Podcast?.

Cavehill Red

When anyone starts taking their cues from Joe Duffy, they need to reset their moral compass.
I'll repeat my question: as the southern prison service are responsible for his initial transfer north, perhaps the authorities in the south could find another reason to serve an arrest warrant?

You still haven't listened to the show have you?.. Jedward could have presented the show and it wouldn't have made a difference to what the investigating garda and Pte Burkes mum had to say - listen to the show before coming galloping through on your moral highhorse and compass.
