Bereaved mum to address domestic violence conference

Maria Dempsey will open a major conference on domestic violence next week — the sixth anniversary of her daughter’s horrific murder.

Brave Alicia Brough was stabbed multiple times when she tried to stop Limerick man John Geary from killing his ex-partner and their daughter because they had left him.

Geary admitted murdering Sarah Hines; their five-month-old daughter Amy; Sarah’s three-year-old son Reece; and her friend, Alicia.
