Kurdish refugee Yousef Palani, who was motivated by his hatred of homosexual men, told detectives that he would have continued "to kill" if gardaí had not stopped him, the Central Criminal Court has heard.
The sentencing hearing for the 23-year-old also heard while Palani told gardaí that his religion forbids homosexuality, gardaí were satisfied he was not radicalised despite suggestions to the contrary.
Palani told gardaí in interviews that Muslims could not be homosexual and vehemently denied being gay, despite using homosexual dating apps.
The court heard that the first murder victim, Aidan Moffitt, had been decapitated in his home, with his head placed on a bed. He had also suffered 42 stab wounds. Michael Snee was also found tied up on the floor of his own bedroom with 38 sharp force injuries. A third victim suffered injuries to his eye but managed to escape.
All victims had arranged to meet Palani on Grindr.
Update: Palani was sentenced to life plus 20 years.

Gang who attacked man in Dungannon reported to be from East Timor.
Earlier this month, I posted a footage of an attack in County Tyrone by a gang of up to 30 foreign men that left a man in Dungannon with serious head injuries. He remains in hospital, and unable to give a statement to police but it has now been revealed the gang are East Timorese:
>I spoke to a number of local sources, who expressed concern about the disorder and violence in the area, and who told me there are a now a number of established East Timorese gangs in the town. Tensions are now spilling into nearby Cookstown, with local schools experiencing reported issues which meant police were called over a number of incidents.
>“It’s not uncommon to see these gangs fighting in the town at night. It is something locals have had to put up with for the last number of months,” a source living in the town told me. The female source also said she would not walk alone after dark in the area.
>Her hometown, she says, has become almost unrecognisable.

A Romanian man, who just came to Ireland looking for a better life, has been handed a 19-year prison sentence for "brutally" sexually assaulting a woman who got into his car thinking it was a taxi.
Liviu Tenea, who was working for a takeaway, drove the woman to a dark isolated location before attacking her.
Imposing sentence, Justice Mary Ellen Ring said the "brutal" sexual assaults carried out by Tenea on the woman in an isolated area after she got into what she believed to be a taxi was "every woman's nightmare". She said Tenea then left the scene, leaving the victim to find assistance herself.
She noted Tenea's guilty plea, but said she “can't overlook” his initial attempts to blame the victim by telling gardaí that she had propositioned him.
He has one previous conviction in Spain for sexual assault of a minor for which he received a 20-year sentence in 2006 but was repatriated to Romania in 2010 and then released in 2015 before moving to Ireland through the north.

Wonder if they regret providing medical assistance and whatever else to those sadistic villains when Syria was the target.

First they told us it was €250,000. That was then downgraded to €30,000. Now it's gone up to €357,000 found in denominations of €500 and €200 banknotes and hidden in bags in the “cluttered” bedrooms of the Palani family.
That's a lot of cash for a Kurdish refugee couple with 8 children to have stashed around the home we provided them. Neither parent nor Yousef was employed.
"One line of inquiry is that the money came into Ireland when Palani’s family first arrived here from Iraq."

Some interesting details in this report.
Apparently the house was provided to the Palani family by the GAA who have declined to comment. People in positions of leadership in the fields of politics, religion and the LGBTQ+ community in Sligo have also chosen to remain silent in the aftermath of the murders.
“There’s no due diligence done and now we have ended up with a murderer living beside us,” one resident said.
He was long marked as a trouble maker but the Garda seemed to have a hands-off approach towards him. When Palani was aged 10 or 11, local children invited him over to play football on the green. When he did, he began kicking the other children, not the football.
Palani was seen by neighbours in TikTok videos, since deleted, interacting with a transwoman from Thailand. They never saw him with any girlfriends.

That time a Libyan called Mahdi al-Harati who lived in Firhouse had to rush home from his 'freedom-fighting' expedition in Libya because his Dublin home was burgled, and the €200,000 which the CIA had given him in €500 banknotes had been stolen out of the hot press.
"The gentle Irishman," as he was described in the Irish Times, had an associate called Abdelhakim Belhadj in Libya who was an ISIS leader. He had also been pictured with an Al Qaeda financier.

There's a part at 12:05 in the above audio clip where Joe Duffy mentions "a number of Irish people" who went to Libya to help overthrow Gadaffi. These were Libyans with Irish citizenship and most if not all were likely CIA/MI5 assets.

Driver of the grey VW golf who drove Jozef Puska to Mucklagh after he called to his door in Church View at 9pm is identified as a Slovakian national called Rostislav “Peter” Pokuta who worked as a school bus driver.
Puska told him he'd been involved in a fight in town but wouldn't tell him with who. He said Puska looked “very scared” and it “wasn’t like him.” He says he was scratched in the face and the scratches were bleeding. He was wearing a black tracksuit with a white line on the side. His face almost looked blue. He was shaking and he was all wet.
“He didn’t want to talk to me. I asked him I think 20 times on the way home.”
The witness said that near Lynally Grove Puska asked him to slow down in case somebody was outside his house.
He originally told the Garda he only met Puska and his brother during the afternoon when the brother wanted to discuss payment for his bus runs.
Defence asked did he notice Puska having injuries to his stomach. The witness said he was holding his stomach.

Ashling Murphy's fitbit data:
At 3:16pm, there was a change from 90 up to 270 degrees, as the user appears to do a u-turn and walk in a westerly direction.
At 3:21pm, the watch records "erratic, violent movement".
At 3:31pm, the fitbit is no longer picking up a heart rate.
Last Wednesday, a witness said she and her friend came upon Josef Puska crouching over Ashling Murphy after starting a run at 3:15pm about 500 metres away from the scene.
