Evil rapist goes into hiding after release from prison amid fears he will be 'taken out'

Twisted C-Case rapist Simon McGinley has gone into hiding after his release from prison amid fears he will be “taken out”.

Gardai and prison staff were on alert as the 42-year-old, known as The Beast, walked free from Arbour Hill jail in Dublin on Wednesday. The notorious fiend was freed after serving 13 years of a 21-year sentence for the horrific rape of an 85-year-old pensioner in her Monaghan home in 2008.

Gardai feared Dundalk traveller McGinley would be attacked as he walked from the jail to a waiting taxi as part of an ongoing feud.
