Hourigan Guilty in Foley Murder | Limerick News

A jury has convicted Daniel Hourigan, 33, of murdering 61-year-old Michael Foley in his Macroom home in February — a case that unfolded over ten harrowing hours of deliberation. Hourigan claimed his then-partner was the killer, saying he found her at the scene and tried to protect her. But prosecutors countered with damning evidence: inconsistent statements to police, CCTV showing him leaving with the murder weapon — later dumped on a bus — and his palm print at the scene. The pathologist revealed Foley suffered fatal stab and slash wounds, including a collapsed lung and massive blood loss. Described by the prosecution as a compassionate man who helped others, Foley’s death shocked the community. Hourigan, remanded in custody, faces sentencing on July 30th, while the jury is excused for five years. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
