The heartbroken father of Nicola Furlong says his pain is the same as 10 years ago – with her killer due to be released this month.
DCU student Nicola was murdered in a Tokyo hotel on May 24, 2012 after she and a pal had attended a Nicki Minaj concert earlier that evening. They had met American musician Richard Hinds and his friend, dancer James Blackston, after the gig when they asked for directions.
Both girls fell unconscious after the pair gave them spiked Tequila shots. Security cameras showed Hinds and Blackston ferry Nicola, 21, and her pal across the lobby of the Keio Plaza Hotel in the hotel’s wheelchairs and into a lift to a bedroom.
