Locked-up child killer Karen Harrington may have to spend years in jail lockdown – because of the risk she will be attacked by other inmates, it has emerged.
The 38-year-old – who earlier this week began a life sentence for the brutal murder of little Santina Cawley – is currently on 21-hour lockdown in Limerick Prison, and sources say that period of solitary may to be extended for months or years.
It’s understood prison staff are worried she could be targeted by other inmates – as child killers are regarded as the lowest of the low.
