Siobhán has got justice and her murderer has got justice

THE statement read by Aisling McLaughlin:

“The faith and the trust that we have had in our criminal justice system has not been misplaced and we have not been let down. Today, Siobhán has got justice; we have got justice and Siobhán’s murderer has got justice, and for that, we are most thankful.

“Since that day — Tuesday, February 28, 2006, — our lives have been utterly destroyed by this brutal and pointless act of savagery, from which they cannot, nor ever will, be the same. As a very close family, we have been haunted by the fact that we were not able to help Siobhán that morning — that she was alone in the last and the worst minutes of her life — unaware that the place she felt safest in, was, in fact, the most treacherous. We agree with Pawel Kalite’s [one of the two Polish workers murdered in Drimnagh last week] sister that people who do these things, cease to be human.
