THE EX-WIFE OF one of the London Bridge attackers, who lived in Dublin with him until last year, has released a statement saying she’s focusing on raising the daughter they have together.
Charisse O’Leary, who is originally from the UK, said she condemns the actions of Rachid Redouane and knows that one day she will have to try and explain to her daughter why her father did what he did.
It’s believed the couple got married in Ireland in 2012 and lived together both the UK and in Rathmines in Dublin. According to O’Leary, they have been separated for the past six months.
In the statement, O’Leary said, “Since discovering that it was Rachid that was responsible I have shed many tears for the people caught up in this horrific incident.
“Rachid and I have been separated for six months. We have a beautiful young daughter, that for the last six months has been our only bond and reason for contact.
My thoughts and efforts now are with trying to bring up my daughter with the knowledge that someday I will have to try and explain to her why her father did what he did.
The mother also said she was shocked by the attack and expressed condolences to those who lost their lives.
“My heartfelt thoughts go out to all those murdered or injured in the events of 3rd June 2017.
I am deeply shocked, saddened and numbed by the actions of my ex partner who has killed and injured so many innocent people.
“I wish to make it absolutely clear, so there can be no doubt, I condemn his actions and do not support the beliefs he held that led him to committing this atrocity.”
