Not sure, a little before my time. @balbec would probably know ā¦ I think it may have been related to a few stabbings around Beat on the Street in the mid / late 80s.
its before the days of the INTERNET but the echo was compulsive reading
There were grainy black and white photos of the victims , lads with long hair and what not
but another common enough theme with a lot of murders in ireland: the cops not bothering their hole in the vital early hours when someone is reported missing, leading to loss of vital evidence etc.
the handling of the prosecution was a total fuckup as well, heads should have rolled for that.
Whatās the lower age limit acceptable here for point scoring?
I knew one of the chaps involved in the house of horrors @mickee321, Patch was his name, he was a nice fella, I donāt recall the devil worship stuff??
Think the guards made an awful fuck up of the case, a body was moved that was meant to be under observation due to no overtime or something. Then the judge threw out the case because something was said in the media. I think your man walked free.
yeah - this case is bugging me mow - those houses there on wellington road would be awfully depressing old places and they probably havenāt changes much at all
i remember in 1995 i was working out in quality plastics for the summer - used to get the 615 train up from cobh and meet a fella for a lift at the top of wellington road there - remember walking around trying to find the house where it happened as i had an hour to kill at 650am- great days that was the summer of feile in cork - boilng hot too - never forget not showing up for an east cork football semi final because i had to play a local 7 a side soccer league game that was deemed more important by most people at the time.
heady days indeed
Iād say 18. But obviously you need to use a bit of common sense. Anything freakish or depraved should be avoided. A kidnap/rape/murder of a 19 would not be cool but some 19 year old scumbag getting shot gangland style might be ok. Iād steer clear of murdered old people jokes as well.
Thereās also a historical nature, whatās not ok now might well be ok after a year.
Finally, if itās someone that someone on here knows, that would be out of bounds. Aside from that knock yourself out. If youāre worried drop me a pm and Iāll guide you.
