O’Reilly case gives hope to those awaiting justice

THE conviction of Joe O’Reilly for the brutal murder of his wife has given new hope to the relatives of those whose killers have never been jailed.

As O’Reilly woke up having spent his first night in Dublin’s Mountjoy Prison, campaigners for justice celebrated having another murderer in jail.

The cold-hearted killer was jailed for life on Saturday for bludgeoning Rachel to death in their north Co Dublin home.
