Mum of tragic Irish backpacker Danielle McLaughlin issues plea over 'frustrating and never-ending' murder trial

The mother of Donegal backpacker Danielle McLaughlin — who was raped and murdered in India five years ago — is to write to the Chief Minister of Goa to request that the murder trial is speeded up.

Andrea Brannigan will also tell the Chief Minister that she fears she will never get justice for Danielle because of the
continuous delays the trial has faced since it began almost three and a half years ago.

“I will also let the Chief Minister know how much of an effect it is all having on my mental health and how unfair it is that the trial is continuously adjourned for one reason or another,” Andrea told the Irish Mirror.
