Sinead O'Leary: Surviving victim of Rochestown murderer Peter Whelan warns he will kill again

The surviving victim of Rochestown murderer Peter Whelan has warned that he will kill again — after hearing that he was freed from jail on day release after serving just six years of a life sentence.

Sinead O’Leary, then 19, was getting ready for a night out with her best friend, Nichola Sweeney, 20, at her home in Rochestown, Co Cork, when Whelan, a neighbour who they did not know, broke into the house on a motiveless, murderous rampage.
