FIVE FAMILY MEMBERS and a teenager used “medieval violence” to “butcher” father of seven in “an honour killing” during a Co Kerry funeral, carrying out a “biblical atrocity”
43-year-old Mr Thomas Dooley was killed at Rath Cemetery, Rathass, Tralee, Co Kerry on October 5, 2022.
His younger brother, plus four other Dooleys and a teenager (presumably named Dooley; minors can’t be named in the press under Irish law), have all pleaded not guilty. They gave a halting-site address.
Counsel said the trial had a combination of the macabre, a provincial tragedy and appalling medieval violence. Ultimately, he commented, it was a biblical atrocity of a case where one brother had killed another brother.
Counsel suggested the motive in the case was ‘reasonably clear’ and submitted it was because of an unhappy end to a childish relationship. Two teenagers were going out together (the daughter of the dead man + the son of one suspect), and the relationship had broken down. He said this had resulted in what some might call “an honour killing”.
If you mean someone who doesn’t agree with you on everything, then…sure.
As are you.
If you are looking for a place where no-one disagrees with you , an internet message board probably isn’t going to be a good experience for you.

Not until just now.

Not to discount your choice, you do you, is just not for me.
