Emotional scenes in Idaho court as ‘delusional, pathetic loser' sentenced to life for murder of four students
Friends and relatives of four University of Idaho students in the US who were murdered in their rental home by Bryan Kohberger delivered powerful statements of love, anguish and condemnation as his sentencing hearing took place. 'This world was a better place with her in it,' Scott Laramie, the stepfather of Madison Mogen, told the court. 'Karen and I are ordinary people, but we lived extraordinary lives because we had Maddie.' The father of Kaylee Goncalves taunted Kohberger for leaving his DNA behind and getting caught despite being a graduate student in criminology at nearby Washington State University at the time. 'You were that careless, that foolish, that stupid,' Steve Goncalves said. 'Master's degree? You're a joke.' READ MORE Judge Steven Hippler ordered Kohberger to serve four life sentences without parole for four counts of first-degree murder in the brutal stabbing deaths of Ms Mogen, Ms Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin early on November 13th, 2022. He was also given a 10-year sentence for burglary. The defendant pleaded guilty earlier this month, just weeks before his trial was due to start, in a deal to avoid the death penalty. Kohberger broke into the home through a kitchen sliding door and brutally stabbed the four friends, who appeared to have no connection with him. No motive has been offered, and Kohberger chose not to speak at the hearing. Dylan Mortensen, a roommate who told police of seeing a strange man with bushy eyebrows and a ski mask in the home that night, sobbed as she described how Kohberger, seated across the room in an orange jumpsuit, 'took the light they carried into each room'. 'He is a hollow vessel, something less than human,' Ms Mortensen said. 'A body without empathy, without remorse.' Ms Mortensen and another surviving roommate, Bethany Funke, described crippling panic attacks and anxiety after the attack. 'I slept in my parents' room for almost a year, and had them double lock every door, set an alarm, and still check everywhere in the room just in case someone was hiding,' Ms Funke wrote in a statement read by a friend. 'I have not slept through a single night since this happened. I constantly wake up in panic, terrified someone is breaking in or someone is here to hurt me, or I'm about to lose someone else that I love.' Bryan Kohberger at his sentencing hearing. He has never explained why he killed the four University of Idaho students. Photograph: Kyle Green/AP Alivea Goncalves's voice did not waver as she asked Kohberger questions about the killings, including what her sister's last words were. She drew applause after belittling Kohberger, who remained expressionless as she insulted him. 'You didn't win, you just exposed yourself as the coward you are,' Ms Goncalves said. 'You're a delusional, pathetic, hypochondriac loser.' Kohberger's mother and sister also attended the hearing, sitting in the gallery near the defence table. His mother quietly wept at times as the other parents described their grief. She sobbed briefly when Madison Mogen's grandmother said that her heart goes out to the other families, including Kohberger's. Xana Kernodle's aunt, Kim Kernodle, said she forgave Kohberger and asked him to call her from prison, hoping he would answer her lingering questions about the killings. 'Bryan, I'm here today to tell you I have forgiven you, because I no longer could live with that hate in my heart,' she said. 'And for me to become a better person, I have forgiven you. And any time you want to talk and tell me what happened, get my number. I'm here. No judgment.' Police initially had no suspects in the killings, which terrified the rural western Idaho city of Moscow. Some students at both universities left mid-semester, taking the rest of their classes online because they felt unsafe. A knife sheath left near Ms Mogen's body had a single source of male DNA on the button snap, investigators said, and surveillance videos showed a white Hyundai Elantra near the rental home around the time of the murders. Police used genetic genealogy to identify Kohberger as a possible suspect and accessed mobile phone data to pinpoint his movements on the night of the killings. Online shopping records showed Kohberger had purchased a military-style knife months earlier, along with a sheath like the one found at the rental home. Kohberger was arrested in Pennsylvania about six weeks after the killings.

Man who repeatedly raped foster daughter must pay her €328,000 in damages, court rules
A man who admitted to repeatedly raping his foster daughter over a seven-year period must pay more than €300,000 in damages to her, a High Court judge has ruled. Stephen Murray, formerly of Humphreystown, Valleymount, Co Wicklow, was jailed for 11 years in 2022 after pleading guilty to multiple counts of rape, oral rape and sexual assault of Kelly Kemmy. The offending occurred between February 2009 and December 2015, when Ms Kemmy was aged between 11 and 18 years old. Ms Kemmy (27), who waived her right to anonymity following Murray's sentencing, subsequently issued civil proceedings against Murray and Tusla. Ms Kemmy's claim against Tusla, which sought damages for negligence for placing her in the care of Murray, was later settled for €250,000. READ MORE In February, 2024, Mr Justice Paul Coffey ruled in favour of Ms Kemmy in her claim against Murray, which sought damages for personal injuries as well as rape, sexual assault, assault, battery, false imprisonment and trespass to the person. Murray did not participate in the proceedings and judgment was made against him in default of appearance. In a judgment on Wednesday, Ms Justice Emily Egan ruled Ms Kemmy should receive damages of €328,000 from Murray. Ms Justice Egan, who characterised the nature and severity of abuse suffered by Ms Kemmy as a 'worst case scenario', said Ms Kemmy should be awarded €578,000 arising from her action against Murray. This would comprise €450,000 in general damages and €128,000 in special damages. However, the judge ruled that Tusla and Murray were 'concurrent wrongdoers' in the case and as such, the €250,000 settlement with Tusla should be deducted from the total award. '[Ms Kemmy] suffered damage as a result of the tortious and criminal actions of Murray and that damage was not prevented, interrupted or ameliorated by Tusla, as it ought to have been,' the judge said. An award of €450,000 in general damages reflects 'the nature, severity, timing and duration of abuse and the severity of the injury' to Ms Kemmy, Ms Justice Egan said. This award is greater than damage previously awarded for other child sexual abuse cases, the judge said. The judge noted the current upper limit for awards of general damages in personal injuries cases is €550,000. The €128,000 in special damages arises primarily from Ms Kemmy's claims of loss of earnings. Referring to Ms Kemmy's evidence in the civil case, Ms Justice Egan noted that it is estimated she suffered hundreds of separate incidents of rape, occurring three to four times a week. Murray's abuse of Ms Kemmy began when she was 11 years old, some seven years after she and two of her siblings were fostered by Murray and his wife. 'For years, [Ms Kemmy's] dignity and autonomy were taken from her, causing her to suffer humiliation, frustration, helplessness, loneliness and despair,' the judge said. It was Ms Kemmy's evidence that Murray told her the abuse was normal but secret, and if she told anyone, 'it would ruin the family', the judge noted. Ms Kemmy said she felt trapped, helpless and frightened, and that her shame was so overwhelming she felt she had no one to turn to for help, the judge said. Ms Kemmy reported Murray's abuse to An Garda Síochána in July 2019. After this, she was rendered effectively homeless and her relationship with her two siblings was 'devastated', the judge noted. Murray would later plead guilty to 14 counts of rape, two counts of oral rape and one count of sexual assault. Ms Kemmy continues to suffer with post-traumatic stress disorder, the judge noted. The judge also said Ms Kemmy is a resourceful and intelligent woman, keen to gain security for herself and her young child, and who has ambitions of becoming a social worker.

Solicitor facing professional misconduct allegations over handling of €100,000 in client account
A solicitor is facing three allegations of professional misconduct linked to his handling of a €100,000 deposit placed into his practice's client account. Michael A O'Brien, solicitor and principal of a firm of the same name based in Carrick on Suir, Co Tipperary , denies any wrongdoing. The Legal Services Regulatory Authority 's case against Mr O'Brien, being heard by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal , follows a complaint by Dolores Barrett Burke who sought to invest €100,000 in a scheme to purchase the Heritage Hotel and Spa in 2018. She told the tribunal she was 'shocked' to read in a newspaper that the Co Laois hotel had instead been purchased by FBD Hotels & Resorts, yet Mr O'Brien made no attempt to return her money to her. READ MORE Ms Barrett Burke, who is retired and lives in Castlebar, Co Mayo , said she transferred the money after receiving a letter from Mr O'Brien in June 2018 that she believed provided the required assurances. The investment opportunity had been suggested to her by her brother-in-law Cyril Burke. The proposed purchase was being led by Mary Parton, a woman she never met, she said. However, she said she later learned FBD had purchased the hotel. She believed she would receive her money back 'in the same way I had sent it', but did not immediately worry about why it was not returned. More than a year later, she consulted her solicitor, Thomas J Walsh, who sent the first of a number of letters to Mr O'Brien seeking the return of the funds. After no reply to initial correspondence, the tribunal heard, Mr O'Brien responded to explain that the terms of his undertaking had been adhered to and the money had been dispensed in accordance with the instructions of his client, Ms Parton. Barrister Mark Finan, for Mr O'Brien, put it to Ms Barrett Burke that the letter his client sent to her clearly stated his understanding was that she would be paying the money into the client account 'for and on behalf of Mary Parton'. It was also put to her that, while she had indicated when making a complaint about Mr O'Brien to the Legal Services Regulatory Authority that she had engaged Mr O'Brien, she had never actually done so and was not, in fact, his client. 'I figured because I sent him the money and it was a client account, I was now a client,' she said. The tribunal is scheduled to resume on October 29th. In the interim, it is to be clarified whether the tribunal's chair, Tom Coughlan, is acquainted with Ms Barrett Burke's brother-in-law Cyril Burke. He told the hearing he became aware of a possible connection after seeing the list of witnesses and hearing the evidence but was not sure if it is the same Cyril Burke who he knows but not well.
