On 17 February 2013, Darren Murphy stabbed his girlfriend Olivia Dunlea, a 36-year-old mother of three, six times in her bed in Passage West, Co Cork, and set fire to her duvet while she was still alive before fleeing the scene. Murphy had been her boyfriend for only eight weeks. He was convicted of murder after three trials and two appeal hearings and sentenced to life imprisonment in 2018. He is now eligible to apply for parole after twelve years in custody, and a TG4 documentary about the case is set to air on 5 March 2025.
