latest first- Man freed after 42 years for 1980 Galway murder Murder · Co. Galway
Michael Holohan, 68, a man, was freed from Shelton Abbey prison in July 2023 after serving 42 years for the murder of Mary Kitt, 45, a woman, at her home on Grattan Road in Salthill, Galway, on 3 June 1980. Holohan stabbed Kitt with a kitchen knife, struck her in the head with a glass ashtray, and choked her to death before hiding her body under the bed and taking a ten pound note from her purse. He was seen drinking in a Galway pub less than nine hours after the killing. While on bail, Holohan attacked a 25-year-old woman at a railway line in Galway, for which he received a six-month sentence to be served concurrently with a 12-month sentence. He was tracked to Newbridge, Co Kildare, where he was seen shopping for jewellery and visiting the Intreo centre.
