Woman Guilty of Double Murder in Ireland

On November twelfth, Ruth Lawrence was found guilty of murdering two men in County Meath, Ireland, in 2014. The jury reached their verdict after fourteen hours of deliberation, and Lawrence now faces a mandatory life sentence. The victims, Eoin OConnor and Anthony Keegan, were found shot dead on Inchicup Island on Lough Sheelin, five weeks after they went missing. The prosecution alleges that Lawrence and her boyfriend, Neville van der Westhuizen, shot the victims in a field near Lawrences cottage and moved their bodies to the island. Lawrence was extradited back to Ireland in 2023, and van der Westhuizen is currently serving a sentence in South Africa for unrelated convictions. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
