EXCLUSIVE: Infamous killer O'Reilly is engaging with the probation services, but speaking today, his victim Rachel Callaly's brother Paul says it means nothing unless the murderer finally confesses.
A brother of murder victim Rachel Callaly says killer Joe O’Reilly’s ‘progress’ behind bars is “meaningless” - until he admits his crime.
Speaking to us today, Rachel’s heartbroken brother Paul, who is set to mark the 20th anniversary of her death at the hands of O’Reilly next month, said the killer’s supposed progress behind bars still means nothing.READ MORE:Deluded wife killer Joe O'Reilly had pinned freedom hopes on Dwyer appeal win
Sources have told this paper that O’Reilly has for the first time in 17 years of imprisonment opened up to the probation services - but has yet to admit responsibility for battering his wife Rachel to death at their home in Naul, Co Dublin in October 2004. The ruthless killer has, sources say, expressed an openness to work with the services as he’s being considered for parole for a third time.
Paul also told of how he, his siblings and their mother Rose will mark Rachel’s 20th anniversary on October 4 - this time without their beloved father Jim, who passed away earlier this year. “It’s the first one without the Pops but it's every year the same sort of. You'd be thinking what would she be up to now and things like that. Things would’ve been different and she’s missed out on an awful lot since,” Paul said.
