Lough Erne murder trial: Jury finds McKinney guilty.

“He said it may have been a spontaneous incident, where McKinney pushed his wife into the water knowing she could not swim and had taken sleeping tablets.”

Sorry, but this is the funniest thing I have heard in a while! Imagine having to pay a defense lawyer for this angle of defense. I am sad to have missed this case until now.

I only looked at a few articles, but the prosecution’s accusations of him being abusive and controlling seem to be based on the testimony of a witness who claimed to have an affair with the wife. No evidence of the affair being real either. A strange story with some questionable evidence.

And to comment on the OPs strange race idea: “importing” a foreign partner to your home country can make them easier to be controlled and isolated, as they will have less of a support network. Makes perfect sense. Though I am not saying that this is what the accused did here.

Wrong .

Anyone man or woman is capable of that behaviour regardless where you have lived and whether rich and highly educated or poor and uneducated

I think you could just as easily argue that some Irish (and other western) men who marry a woman from a society where women are traditionally less valued than in the west are doing so precisely because they believe that Asian women will be more easily controlled than mouthy Irish women.

How well that works out for them is probably a different question. RIP to that poor lady. It's horrendous to think any man would do that, and to the mother of his children as well. Even if he no longer loved her, how could he deprive his children of their mother?

alright, stirring discussion in the right direction again, eh? so tell us, what defines a suitable person to be used ? what's THEGAME ?

getting the creeps here.

my fixation on your posts, haha, sure. ok, I'm out of this creep stuff, think everybody can see it for what it is.

Definitely a weird thread ,not a lot to do with the actual murder

Buyer's remorse?
