MUIREANN O'Connell has praised a brave Ireland AM guest after she detailed her horrific assault during a tear-jerking interview. Hazel Behan, who accused Advertisement 3 Muireann and Tommy spoke to Hazel Behan on air on Tuesday's show Credit: VMTV 3 Hazel detailed the horrific sexual assault she experienced 21 years ago Credit: VMTV 3 Muireann and Tommy were emotional during the interview Credit: VMTV The Dubliner, then aged just 20, was tied up, whipped and raped repeatedly for up to five hours by a knife-wielding intruder who broke into her apartment while she was working as a holiday rep in Brueckner's expected release from his current conviction comes a month before Hazel explained, on air, how she had walked home by herself after arguing with her then-boyfriend and fell asleep in her bed. She was then woken up to a masked man dressed in all black, who was carrying a knife, standing over her. Advertisement read more on hazel behan The 41-year-old said: "I just instantly froze. I couldn't quite get myself together." Muireann replied: "How could you? I'm really sorry. You were doing a job that so many of us have done. I've only walked home from nights when you work in Greece or Portugal or Spain." Hazel went on to say: "And I didn't walk down the main street or miles by myself. Not that it would make any odds, but I literally walked across the road. "He told me not to scream. I think there's this innate thing in us that you'll fight back if you feel that you have a chance to win. But I knew instantly that I didn't. I knew I just wouldn't have had a chance against this person. Advertisement read more on the irish sun Exclusive Breaking Warning "So I complied really and he was very methodical. He knew exactly what he was there for. He knew exactly what way he wanted me to be positioned to be in certain shots, because he set up a video camera and recorded everything that happened." Hazel said the "only time" she refused to do something he asked was when he wanted her to go into the bathroom. Police put me through horrific treatment after Portugal rape ordeal, I deserve answers & apology, says Hazel Behan She explained: "I just had this idea that if he brought me into the bathroom, that that was it. "So he positioned me in a kneeled position over a small little bench sofa thing in the room and placed my head. I was head down on the bench. Advertisement "I know how dramatic it sounds but when you think of somebody standing over you all in black with a mask and a knife and positions it in a certain way - I just honestly thought he was going to just take my head off. I really did. But he didn't, obviously. And he got a sheet from my bed and covered me with the sheet. "Essentially, he packed up everything, stepped out backwards into his shoes. And I didn't know he had gone because the reflection of the light from inside the room on the window of the dark, I couldn't see outside. But he had, thankfully, and I managed to get out of the room." Muireann replied: "I mean, incredible. You went down to a reception in the hotel. The police were called. They take you up to the room. There was no English interpreters. Your experience with the Portuguese police sounded horrific, to say the least." Advertisement In her case, she alleges that Portuguese police failed to seize the blood-stained bed sheets and broken false nails from the struggle with her attacker, which plainly contained important forensic evidence. When asked what she hopes to "achieve" by doing this, she replied: "I'd love to be able to wave a magic wand and just see people in mandated positions, police, legislators, justice system to just do better by particularly women and children, but for everybody. "And I think sexual assault, any form of gender based violence affects us all. If you're lucky enough not to be on the receiving end of it, the likelihood is that you will know somebody who is. "The last thing that you would want is your daughter... you don't want to be my dad, my mother, who sent me off at 20, safe in the knowledge that I was gone off to make all these memories and have the summer of my 21st birthday. Advertisement "And the gasp that came out my dad's breath is something.. when I told him on the phone, what had happened to me is something that has laid heavy on my world and his. "So now, as a parent, I can't change what happened to me - there's no going back, there's no rewriting it. But heaven forbid something would happen to my girls. I would like for them to be treated with the very, very basics, just with some dignity." A short segment of the emotional interview was posted on Ireland AM's Instagram page. Muireann re-shared the video and said: "To hear Hazel talk about her rape... to be eloquent about something so horrific, terrifying and dehumanising is quite simply astonishing. Advertisement "Thank you for talking to us Hazel." Ireland AM viewers flooded the comment section with support and praise for Hazel. Hilda wrote: "You are incredible, brave and strong. I'm so sorry this happened to you and that you were treated so badly in the aftermath." Martha said: "This brought tears to my eyes... horrific for this to even happen, and to still have no justice is just so wrong. I hope justice comes soon. Well done on sharing your story and for fighting all the way. Best wishes to you." Advertisement Niamh wrote: "Your strength in telling your story has brought tears to my eyes. Wishing you get justice for the horror that was inflicted upon you."

Freddie Mercury's secret child took DNA test to PROVE she was Queen legend's daughter – as author of book hits out
FREDDIE Mercury's secret daughter has taken a DNA test to prove the rockstar is her dad. According to a new book, Advertisement 3 A woman claiming to be Freddie Mercury's daughter is said to have taken a DNA test Credit: Getty 3 Freddie reportedly left his daughter his diaries Credit: Redferns And now the author of the book has insisted the shock claims can be backed up. In a message on X today, she hit back at questions, writing: 'To those 'demanding' to see proof of a DNA test, otherwise they won't believe it - please rest assured that the requisite verification was obtained, legal teams have been involved, but that such measures are private and not shared publicly.' The woman, now 48, claims she was raised by another family but always knew Freddie was her father, with the frontman visiting her often before his death in 1991, aged 45. The secret is said to have been kept strictly between Queen members, Freddie's family and long-term partner Mary Austin. Advertisement Read More on Freddie Mercury The woman, known as "B", says in a handwritten letter: "Fred- die Mercury was and is my father. We had a very close and loving relationship from the moment I was born and throughout the final 15 years of his life. He adored me and was devoted to me. "The circumstances of my birth may seem, by most people's standards, unusual and even outrageous. That should come as no surprise. It never detracted from his commitment to love and look after me. He cherished me like a treasured possession." She lives in Europe working as a medical professional with children of her own. Lesley-Ann Jones, author of new book Love, Freddie, was initially sceptical. But she is convinced after working with her for several years. Advertisement Most read in Celebrity Exclusive Exclusive She said: "My instinct was to doubt everything, but I am absolutely sure she is not a fantasist. No one could have faked all this. Why would she have worked with me for three-and-a-half years, never demanding anything? "In my experience of fantasists, and I've met a few, they seek instant gratification, publicity and reward. She has never asked for money. Freddie Mercury's lost song 'Time Waits for No One' is found after decade long search "She doesn't want recognition. Both Freddie and her stepfather left her extremely wealthy. She was not provided for through Freddie's will, but by a private legal arrangement, so no one will find her mentioned there." The Radio Ga Ga star is said to have given his daughter 17 volumes of his personal journals before his death from Aids-related pneumonia. Advertisement The author also hit back at claims that the diary could have been fake by AI, writing: 'To those insisting Freddie Mercury's diaries were faked with AI, that his daughter 'doesn't exist' and that I've made the whole thing up: wait and see. His true story, told in his own words, is incredible. I love him all the more for it. You will too.' Freddie, who had relationships with men and women, had no kids with Mary. She later had two sons with another partner. 3 Freddie is sad to have told his bandmates about his daughter Credit: Getty
