Larry Murpy was arrested by the gardai,after he kidnapped a woman and raped her,and was very close to killing her..Only for two deer hunters,actually came across her in a distressed state,muddied,bloodied,and with no clothing,she was brought into her local garda station by these two men,who then later tried to catch larry murphy with the gards in tow.
He was also suspected of killing a number of other women,and was even one of the top names on ireland's cold case list..
It is evident the irish justice system has let us down,when a man of such evil can not only walk the streets of ireland,but of spain.
As there is no RESTRICTION on suspected serial killers,(who are freed by the irish judicial system) travelling throughout Europe..
He was released 5 years early on good behavior,good behavior should be relevant to the crime committed..and in a cell with other predominantly male prison guards,surrounding the cells,how can this be proven.
In january research from the dublin rape crisis centre,yet again publish more disturbing facts,that less than 1 in 50 rapes,are punished.When the punishments are so weak and so few brought to court,how can crime be discouraged,with such statistics.There are currently no laws to restrict those who are criminals,travelling throughout europe,or even entering ireland..
''THE arrival of suspected serial killer Larry Murphy in Spain has sparked a wave of panic throughout the country.
'Women are being warned that "the face of evil" has moved there and plans to set up home in the south.'
'According to reports, serial rapist Murphy fled Ireland last Tuesday to relocate to the Mediterranean in an attempt to escape the media glare.'
'Now Spanish police officers are planning to keep the violent rapist under surveillance.'
'
'The arrival of Ireland's most high-profile sex offender in the Costa del Sol has sparked anxiety and panic among locals.'
"I can't believe it, he should not have been released in the first place," said one concerned local.
"Look carefully at this face. Especially if you live in Malaga or in the province.''
"This is the face of evil," warned one woman, who put up Murphy's photo on her website.
''La Guardia Civil is now responsible for monitoring Murphy, who was released from prison last month after serving 10 years of a 15-year sentence for the attempted murder and rape of a young businesswoman in 2000. Murphy is also the prime suspect in the disappearances of three other women in Leinster in the 1990s.''
''Gardai have reportedly informed them that Murphy is a "high-risk" offender and have handed over photos and information on him to Spanish police.'
