The ‘demonic, shocking’ murder of Daena Walsh

Young mother of two Daena Walsh was found in
her burning Midleton apartment with 25 knife
wounds in August 2024.  


Her partner, Adam Corcoran, the father of her children, was
found guilty of her murder last week, and will serve a life
sentence. 


Corcoran’s behaviour, from
the moment he brutally stabbed his 27
year old partner to death and tried to burn her body,
to his lies in court, piled “cruelty upon cruelty”, Daena’s
brother Callum said afterwards. Callum Walsh described
Corcoran’s actions as “demonic”.  


Irish Examiner court reporter Liam Heylin covered
the case and he is the guest on today’s
podcast.
