Man who raped Spanish student asks to be transferred to Central Mental Hospital

Last month the man was jailed for 14 years for what the judge described as “most horrific” crimes that were particularly degrading for the young woman.

The Dublin man who abducted and repeatedly raped an 18-year-old Spanish student at a derelict site in the city has asked to be transferred to the Central Mental Hospital.

Eoin Berkley, 25, of Hampton Wood Way, Finglas, admitted raping the girl at the Irish Glass Bottle Company site, Pigeon House Road, on three occasions between July 15 and 16, 2017.
