“I know for a fact he killed my son. He was the ringleader and he was responsible for killing my son. There’s no ifs and buts. He was the one. He killed my son.”
Gardaí believe mob boss Cornelius Price personally carried out the murders of Willie Maughan and his pregnant partner Ana Varslavane – using a claw hammer.
And in an exclusive interview with The Irish Star today, Willie’s father Joe says he too has no doubt that Price carried out the murder of his son. “You hear he was shot, beaten to death or hit with a car. You know, which one do you believe?” Joe said.Willie’s heartbroken parents now hope that the death of Price will lead to others coming forward and finally disclosing where the bodies are.
She said: “He sent people to my house to give the threats to me, telling me to shut my mouth or I was going to be took out.Brave Helen, who also had to endure Price’s gang digging up her son Michael’s grave, said that in spite of everything she never feared the mobster. “We didn’t get closure for William and Ana. It will be eight years in April now and I’m constantly reminded. You might get a break for a few minutes in the day but it always comes back.Helen said she hopes now that Price is dead people who might have been afraid to come forward and tell what they know, might do so.
“The reason my son was murdered was because he had information on Benny Whitehouse’s murder. My son was moving back to Tallaght and he had information and they were afraid he was going to release that information.”“I strongly believe my son and Ana went straight to heaven because my son didn’t take a life,” she said.
