The father of Mountjoy Prison murder victim Robert O’Connor has called for “no retaliation” over his killing.
Speaking out at his son’s funeral yesterday, Leo O’Connor called for no revenge attacks over the brutal killing of his son in a cell earlier this month. “I would hate to see any retaliation. I’m begging anyone if they hear anything to do something to stop it,” he told the congregation gathered at his son’s funeral at the Church of Our Lady Immaculate, in Darndale, North Co Dublin yesterday.
Gardai have yet to arrest four suspects in relation to Robert’s murder, as a separate Irish Prison Service investigation into the shocking incident continues. Robert, 34, of Snowdrop Walk in Darndale died five days after the attack - and it is feared he was murdered over a dispute surrounding an alleged assault that occurred outside of the prison.
