‘Baby John’ appeal revives rumours of extra-marital affairs

Reports of secret relationships and long-hidden affairs are being recalled in Co Kerry as a result of the renewed investigation into the death of the baby found stabbed on a beach near Caherciveen in 1984.

An appeal for information accompanied last week’s re-opening of the inquiry into ‘Baby John’, who was found with multiple stab wounds on White Strand on April 14, 1984.

Rumours circulating in the community at the time, concerning secretive or little-known relationships between married women and men, and married men and single women, are being resurrected and are now being told to gardaí.
