omg! yeah he is!

Thing is though, the bro is saying what a lot of people are thinking - well he must have had a hand in the other disappearances if none have happened since he went inside.

That's pretty dumb logic imo though cause say if I had killed the other girls and say Larry taking the rap for them, I think I would cool off on my killing spree while he was inside too.

Then again, that's the mind of someone who is not addicted to murder, maybe one who is that way inclined may not be able to do that.

. He's a compulsive killer Do you think he could wait so long to strike again?

if he's put to sleep i'll not give it a second thought. good riddence.
yes i support death penalty for predatory sex offenders/killers just like him. they cant be cured or rehabilitaed or even feel remorse.

If they can't change, they're essentially blameless, since their behaviour is completely out of their control. That's a pretty dangerous distinction to make.

It'll be fairly easy for the Gardai to pin crimes on him if he reoffends.. the downside to that it won't be until after somebody else has suffered.

What should they do? It's easy to say he should be kept in prison for life, or murdered by the state but those things are fantasies/nightmares as far as the law is concerned

he may not have done it in the first place if he thought his own life was at stake
Maybe he thought the thrill of it was worth 10 yrs of his useless existence

What about fitting him with a chip as part of an extensive monitoring arrangement ? Rig it so it only activates if he gone on erection.
That way there's minimal cost to the tax payer and the Guards need only respond to activations. Very cost effective !

It goes to show what a messed up legal system we have in this country when a man who was caught red-handed doing what he was doing gets out after ten years :mad::mad:

Mickeroo

not read the whole thread, but is it true they reckon he was responsible for most dissappearances of young women in the midlands for a decade only they can't pin it on him?

friend from carlow was telling me bout him, sounds crazy to be letting him out.

Girl underlined was found. I know this as I live on the same road as her. She is alive so I don't know what that has to do with anything.

Girl in bold also lived on my road. I was childhood friends with both girls actually, before any of Lynettes heroin stuff. She was killed, yes, but although I can't speak for anyone at all on this - I think there were other things suspected in this particular case.

Did a quick search:

A 42-year-old man from Co Louth has been convicted in the Central Criminal Court of the murder of German tourist Bettina Poeschel in October 2001.

Michael Murphy, of Rathmullen Park, Drogheda, had already served a 12-year sentence for the manslaughter of another woman.

Those disappearances are so chilling. Heard journo who wrote a book on same being interviewed this week - she was giving details of, albeit circumstantial, evidence in relation to him and the Dollard/Jacob cases.

Scary...

Murphy hasn't been the only suspect, as far as I remember - wasn't there a Howard guy too?

I saw something yesterday,the girl who he abducted and raped begging ahern to not let him out

Did anyone watch the interview with his brother,where does his wife stand on him getting out.Is it possible he could get rights to see his kids?
I read what his brother said about him,The Herald can reveal how Tom Murphy, who has publicly stated that he wants nothing to do with his estranged brother upon his release next month, will give his most sensational interview yet on her popular series Saturday Night With Miriam this weekend.)

So he kidnaps a woman, rapes her 4(?) times, breaks her nose, etc. Gets convicted, sentenced to 14 years, refuses counselors in prison, yet get's 25% sentence reduction for good behavior?

No, that is simply not right.

As far as I am concerned he should have been sentenced to life, meaning life, and never be released.

As for the poor girl begging Ahern to keep him in, might as well beg a sadist for mercy. Useless shower.

I am uncomfortable with the death penalty only because of cases where it was proven after the fact the person was innocent.

I always say that on the fence because of those people who were killed and were innocent.
Should we bring it back by case by case,because in this case there would be no doubt.

Not sure personally, with things like this there is a bit of a streak of revenge in me. Which is worse punishment for him, quick death, or rot in prison until he expires. Then again, my idea of prison doesn't include TV's, mobile phones, etc.

I can see how there will be in alot of people for this case.Hopefully all the women of the country are paying attention and know who he is.If he does it again and they have no proof,as he seems to be very intelligent in disposing of evidence if he is in fact related to the other missing cases.So this time he might not mess up for a while again.:( Only for he couldn't have predicted those two guys out shooting.He would have been still going.

I read he was in padded cell.How could they not lock him up for good as a mental patient.

Yeah, I think she ran away from home for about a week. A whole messed up story behind it, but 1. not sure if its known and 2. not sure if it's true so I won't go there.

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!!)

No doubt? 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.
