Murderer has annual Mass in prison for victim
James Courtney contacted RTÉ’s Joe Duffy radio show to complain about media coverage of the birth of a child to his son’s partner, conceived while the life prisoner was on temporary release.
It is believed the birth of the child has been presented as a factor in Courtney’s case to the parole board to have a date set for his release after serving 19 years for the murder of Ms O’Toole, 32, who died in the Dublin mountains after he hit her with a rock in 1991.
