Victim says Cooke had it ‘in him’ to kill Philip Cairns

A victim of the paedophile Eamon Cooke, who is suspected of killing Philip Cairns, believes some parents unknowingly invite abusers into their home via the internet.

“Eamon Cooke and his likes are still about. What worries me and concerns me hugely is that today parents are inviting these people into their homes through technology,” said Sophia (not her real name), speaking on Newstalk’s Lunchtime programme yesterday.

“It has made it much easier, and you also have to understand that there are very few on the scale of sex offenders at the level of Cooke, and that most men with a sexual propensity towards children may never offend, but they operate on the internet.
