In April of last year, Gardai were called to an apartment complex where Danny Whelan had overdosed on heroin.

Paramedics found a confession note on his person addressed to his father, saying he had murdered Samantha and her body was then found in the bedroom surrounded by blood.

It’s unclear how she was murdered but he told Gardai he killed her with a hammer while the confession note said he did it with an ashtray.
