Jury Finds O’Neill Guilty in Curran Murder | Waterford News

A jury has convicted Marcus O’Neill of murdering his partner Gillian Curran after a tense three-day deliberation, with a 10-to-2 verdict. Found unresponsive at his home in January 2025, Curran suffered 143 external injuries and internal trauma — evidence the prosecution linked to a brutal assault. Witnesses described O’Neill wielding a bat near her in November 2023, and neighbors heard shouting on the night of her death. Despite O’Neill’s claim she fell while drinking and he found her unconscious, the jury rejected his story. He now faces a mandatory life sentence, set for October 12th — a moment of relief for Curran’s family, who say justice has finally been served.
