Martin Mulqueen, one of the first individuals in Ireland convicted of coercive control, has been returned to prison for further abusing his former partner. In a recent court hearing, Judge Keenan Johnson was presented with unsettling evidence, including testimonies about Mulqueen's bizarre and disturbing attempt to purchase a double grave intended for him and his victim. This incident emphasizes the severe and often surreal reality faced by victims of domestic abuse and the ongoing challenges of addressing coercive control within the justice system.
The case highlighted the extreme lengths victims will go to when living in fear, with one woman resorting to sleeping with a hammer for self-defense.
Martin Mulqueen, already convicted of coercive control, has shown no signs of reform, demonstrating a pattern of disturbing behavior towards his former partner.
The evidence presented in court included a disturbing account of Mulqueen's bizarre attempt to secure a double grave for himself and his victim.
This ruling marks a critical moment in recognizing and addressing the serious crime of coercive control in Ireland.
