No links found between Jastine Valdez murderer and other serious crimes

It is reported that no connection to any unsolved murders or sexual assaults has been produced despite a lengthy search of the database.

40-year-old Hennessy, from Dublin, was not known to gardaí for any serious criminal behaviour before the shocking murder in May.
