‘I screamed with joy when I heard he was dead’

“I can’t wait to dance on his grave with a bottle of champagne. I will be doing it to the murdering scum.”

Jean Bailey didn’t pull any punches yesterday when she was told Freddie Flannery had committed suicide. Flannery killed her brother Patrick ‘Patch’ O’Driscoll in 1994, but escaped conviction after his trial for the murder controversially collapsed.

Jean Bailey described Freddie Flannery as an evil monster with no conscience and said she always certain he had murdered her brother because Patrick knew too much.
