On Monday 11 March 2024, Yousef Palani, a 23-year-old man, was reportedly attacked in his cell in Mountjoy prison, Dublin, by a group of prisoners. Palani had received a double life sentence after confessing to the murders of Aidan Moffitt and Michael Snee in April 2022. He was taken to hospital three days after the attack, and he gave gardaí a detailed statement and helped identify the culprits. As of 21 March 2024, a full investigation was under way, but the prisoners involved had not yet been questioned by gardaí.
Reported, 20 Mar 2024Victim · 2 reports - Man sentenced to life for double murder in Sligo Murder
Yousef Palani, a 23-year-old naturalised Irish citizen of Middle Eastern origin, was arrested on 13 April 2022 and charged with the murders of Michael Snee, 58, and Aidan Moffitt, 41, in their homes in Sligo on 12 and 10 April 2022, and with the attempted murder of Anthony Burke, 50, on 9 April 2022. Gardaí believe Palani met the victims through a gay dating app and was motivated by hatred of gay men. He pleaded guilty to all three charges at the Central Criminal Court on 31 July 2023. On 23 October 2023, Palani was sentenced to life in prison for each murder and a concurrent 20-year term for the attack on Burke.
