Man shouted 'he had it coming' and stabbed convicted sex offender to death before dying in Monaghan car crash

A lorry driver stabbed a convicted sex offender to death in a bloodbath attack before being run over and killed as he escaped, it emerged last night.

The Star has established that Kieran Hamill shouted “he had it coming” when he was disturbed as he stabbed Chris Mooney to death early yesterday at the victim’s home in rural Co Monaghan.

Sources say Mr Hamill, 37, inflicted up to a dozen knife wounds on Mr Mooney, who spent five years in prison after he was convicted of multiple charges of sexual assault against a young boy in 2003.
