Hope she is going to be ok
Woman murdered yesterday, another woman found unconscious. God knows what’s going on behind closed doors. Epidemic of domestic violence against women on this country. More so than gangland. Authorities need to get their act together.
@Mr Jerry Curtin (gurrier): she could have been attacked by another women for all we know. Domestic and coercive abuse is carried out by all parties in all sorts of relationships. It is also pretty common for certain partners not to be allowed see friends and family and is common with one particular sex as a form of control.
@Craic_a_tower: what percentage chance would you estimate that it was another woman that did this? If you were a betting man would you put your house on it not being a man?. I doubt it.
@Mr Jerry Curtin (gurrier): This could have been a robbery. Far too light on details so far to make assumptions.
@Paul O’Sullivan: is it? Regardless, what difference does that make,the woman was still attacked?
@Paul O’Sullivan: but why even raise the fact, and implication, of the notoriety of the area unless you were attempting to denigrate the attack?
@Craic_a_tower: in all my life I’ve yet to see or hear of a woman doing this much damage. Odd one who terrifies her partner but hey at least 99%of the assaults are by stupid, impotent men.
@Patricia O’Reilly: scissor sisters?
@D Mems: you are being silly
@Patricia O’Reilly: Patricia there are a good few woman in the Dochas centre foing life for murdering their husbands
Dodgy part of the city
