Two separate homicide investigations are under way after the deaths of Michael Snee, 58, and Aidan Moffitt, 41, who were found with devastating and horrific wounds of a similar nature. A 22-year-old man from the Middle East was arrested on suspicion of murder yesterday morning outside his home in a quiet dead end, south of the city of Sligo. A few days before the killings, a man was attacked near the town of Sligo and stabbed in the eye after talking to another man on an online dating app. Gardaí is investigating whether this attack and any other attacks in recent weeks have anything to do with the recent deaths. They are now investigating whether a possible serial killer was deliberately targeting men on the Internet. Taoiseach Micheál Martin said he was “deeply concerned” about the killings, while Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said: “What happened is unthinkable and difficult to understand.” Mr Varadkar added that he was “concerned about the possible motive of the perpetrator”. Justice Secretary Helen McEntee has promised to pass new hate crime laws after a series of attacks on gay men in a “dark week” for the LGBTI + community in Ireland.

For the second day in a row, a sense of disbelief and disgust swept through Northwestern County, which woke up Wednesday to hear of a second murder, that of Mr Snee, a visually impaired man from City View on Connaughton Road. The 58-year-old, who lived alone, is believed to have communicated with his killer via the internet where they arranged to meet at his rooftop home. Gardaí found Mr. Snee’s mutilated remains when they answered a 999 call at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday night. Garda’s supervisor Aidan Glacken said yesterday: “Michael was seriously injured and seriously injured.” The man’s neighbors described him as an “individual” who had many sisters living in the area with whom he was very close. Mr. Snee was previously married and once worked as a physician at Sligo University Hospital. A neighbor cried when she described her love for him. “I knew there was an incident in his house, but I had no idea he had actually been killed,” he said. “I am just in shock. Michael was such a wonderful man that he often came to my house to say hello. “He lived alone and took his dog everywhere with him, but I did not know much about his personal life,” he said. The neighbor said Mr Snee had been attacked outside his home in recent months, but the incident was not believed to be linked to his death. The scene was maintained overnight and a forensic examination is being carried out. His body has been removed from the site for autopsy-necropsy. The man arrested after the 58-year-old was discovered had returned from prayer at a local mosque shortly before armed members of the Emergency Unit arrived at his home, which was home to seven other family members, including some young children. . “I have lived here for over 30 years and I have never seen anything like it,” said one neighbor. “The armed guards just rushed to the house and started shouting for everyone inside to leave immediately. “It was very painful to see it, especially with the young children who were present.” Another neighbor said the family had rented the property for more than a decade. “We have never had a problem with any of these before. The older men were really involved in their fitness and could be seen regularly jogging and exercising in the green. “It’s just difficult to process everything that happened,” he said. A few hours before the arrest of the suspect, members of the Armed Support Unit rushed to an estate in the city. The video shows the guards shouting at the people inside to leave the facility and kneel. However, executives will not be tempted to comment on the importance or connection to the research.

Evan Somers: I may not play rugby again
Evan Somers A young man who was “violently” beaten by a stranger in downtown Dublin fears he may never be able to play rugby again due to his injuries. In another homophobic attack that shocked the nation, Evan Somers, 23, was beaten at 3.45 last Saturday morning, causing dislocation and fracture of the ankle and fracture of the eye socket, among other injuries.

Mr Somers said: “This guy came straight at me as soon as he started hitting me in the face. “One of the names he called me was a bald c ***, then one of the words he called me was f and he started hitting me and calling me that.” Mr Somers said the perpetrator “knew what he was doing”, describing him as a gay man and that “there is a difference between general violence and a hate crime”. Mr Somers, a member of the Emerald Warriors, Ireland’s first LGBTQ + rugby club, said the injuries he had suffered could affect his daily life. “It is a possibility that I can not do the things I used to do, playing rugby, and take a step back from things that are normal in my life,” he said. But, she said, things could have been much worse: “With everything happening, the deaths in Sligo, I’m really grateful for my cousin and her boyfriend. “I’m thankful I did not hit my head badly, you just wonder how these things will turn out.” Ms Hannon said it was proof of Mr Somers’s character that he was “counting his blessings”, even after such an “asexual, vicious attack”.
