Family break their silence on Jean’s ‘frightful’ marriage
An incident occurred that marked the beginning of “a frightful time for her”, according to her family, who broke their silence at the weekend for the first time since Bourke, aged 49, was imprisoned last month for murdering Ms Gilbert, aged 45.
“David Bourke was not the man he claimed to be and Jean was certainly not the woman that David Bourke would like to portray,” the Gilbert family said, in a statement to The Irish Times.
