Murderer Mark Whelan has died after falling ill in the showers of Dublin’s Mountjoy Prison.
Whelan, 48, who was only sentenced to life in prison last December, died in hospital after suddenly becoming ill in the prison’s showers yesterday.
It is believed the killer, who brutally stabbed his daughter’s partner to death while high on a cocktail of drugs, was rushed to hospital after he collapsed in the showers and was pronounced dead.
