Sean Hegarty: How is the brutal double murderer able to be on Facebook despite being in prison?
About this episode
Sean Hegarty is a brutal double murderer. He is currently in Northern Ireland’s maximum-security prison, Maghaberry. But he is somehow updating a Facebook account from behind bars. Hegarty murdered his ex-girlfriend Caron Smyth and her friend Finbar McGrillen in December 2013. Hegarty had just days before been released on bail for domestic violence charges. An inquest found that the PSNI’s decision to release the prolific abuser was flawed.
How was someone so dangerous let loose on the streets and how can he be on social media?
Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Allison Morris.
