Mum of baby boy murdered by twisted killer John Tighe tells how birth of daughter saved her life

The ex-partner of baby killer John Tighe has described the agony of losing Joshua at the hands of the murderer and said the birth of her second-born daughter two years later saved her life.

In her first interview since her son Joshua was murdered in 2013, brave Natascha Suessbier said she is thankful to ‘caring’ social workers from the child and family agency Tusla for making a crucial intervention.

The Tusla staff warned her while heavily pregnant in October 2015 that Tighe, who was then a prime suspect in the death of baby Joshua, was a potential danger to their unborn child and insisted they could not raise the baby together.
