‘My monkey Alvin died from depression
after he was stolen’ - court case
Owner speaks out after man is convicted for possession of stolen monkey
Caitlin McBride – 13 November 2013
An infant monkey who was stolen from his Kildare home died one month afterwards due to depression,
according to his owner.
Alvin was two and a half years old when he was taken from his home in Derrinturn, Co Kildare.
Owner Jennifer Murphy, who models in Dublin, said that Alvin was so devastated after the ordeal, in
which he was put in a small cage in the boot of a car for several hours and transferred to several garda
stations, that he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder as a result.
Dubliner Paul Murtagh was charged with the possession of the stolen monkey and sentenced to 80 hours
of community service at court yesterday.
Now that the case has finished, Murphy has spoken of her family’s heartbreak.
She is still devastated from the ordeal which took place in October of last year and Alvin passed away
from a broken heart just one month later.
“He died one month after, got really depressed,” she told Independent.ie
"He definitely had a version of post-traumatic stress disorder. When he arrived home to us, he was hiding

The slag has obviously never heard of the Vintage Cocktail Club or the Blind Pig speakeasy. Shoddy journalism.
@Rocko. I’m willing to step into the void in the TFK Astro team whenever you feel the time is right to move on from this terrible tragedy
Truly dreadful piece from journal.ie

The opinion pieces on the journal are absolute muck
The Limerick Post and Willie O Dea have properly mugged me off in their comments/opinion piece this week.
The comments section could be ideal for an away day however. 
http://www.independent.ie/sport/martin-breheny-picks-his-dualstar-dream-xv-29760126.html
Martin Breheny has come up with some beauty today in the indo. A truly amazing clanger. He selects his dual dream team including players from the early 1970s to the present day. He manages to select this team and omit Jimmy Barry Murphy who was probably the greatest dual man of all in that period! How da heck did he include Alan Kerins ahead of JBM. He wasn’t as good a hurler as JBM and was a bit part player for one season with the Galway footballers. How can a so called leading GAA correspondent stand over this? Its comical.
Further comedy is provided at left corner back. The photo of Brian Murphy of 1970s Cork fame doesn’t bear any resemblance to him and looks remarkably like Brian Murphy the 2013 hurler who never kicked football for Cork
