| 释义 |
The shooting of Lizzie O'Neill (also known by the alias Honour Bright) happened in Ticknock, County Dublin, Ireland in June 1925.[1][2] Before her deathLizzie O'Neill lived in the Liberties area of Dublin and worked as a sex worker near St Stephen's Green.[1][2] She worked in Pyms, a clothing shop, but lost her job when she became a single mother.[3] Frank Duff visited a house she was staying at while doing charitable work for the Legion of Mary.[3] Witness statementsOne of Lizzie's fellow sex workers said that a man had paid her and told her that he had been robbed of eleven pounds and a silver cigarette case earlier that evening.[1] He was angry and said he was armed.[1] He asked the woman's help in finding the thief and indicated that a man in a nearby car was a friend who was a superintendent in the Garda Síochána and would round up sex workers if the thief was not found.[1] Another sex worker said she saw Lizzie and another sex worker with two men in a grey sports car outside the Shelbourne Hotel.[1] The last sighting of Lizzie that evening was of her getting into a car with two men at Leonard's Corner on the South Circular Road.[2] She was found dead the next morning from a gunshot wound.[2] The car was traced to a Dr Patrick Purcell of Blessington, County Wicklow who admitted being in Dublin on the evening in question with Garda Superintendent Leo Dillon.[1] TrialThe trial began on 30 January 1926.[1] There was great interest partly due to the status of the accused.[2] The defence argued that two witnesses, a taxi driver and a Garda constable, were lying.[1] The jury acquitted the accused on the grounds that there was sufficient doubt.[1][2] Dr Purcell emigrated to England due to difficulties with people in Blessington after the acquittal.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 {{cite news|url=http://www.herald.ie/entertainment/an-honour-killing-27874802.html|title=An Honour Killing|last=Blain|first=Emma|date=5 June 2008|accessdate=23 July 2015|publisher=Evening Herald}} {{DEFAULTSORT:O'Neill, Lizzie}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite book|url=https://books.google.ie/books?id=9w7fTNJt9c4C&pg=PA238&dq=%22Honour+Bright%22+murder&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCoQ6AEwAmoVChMI9cXE4vDvxgIVZSPbCh2VPg3h#v=onepage&q=%22Honour%20Bright%22%20murder&f=false|title=Prostitution and Irish Society, 1800-1940|last=Luddy|first=Maria|date=2007|accessdate=23 July 2015|publisher=Cambridge University Press}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|url=https://books.google.ie/books?id=RsruBgAAQBAJ&pg=PT189&lpg=PT189&dq=%22Honour+Bright%22+murder&source=bl&ots=REqZNiyywf&sig=g0lPSTLnJvnSaCnrWmyT2TUwq3U&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22Honour%20Bright%22%20murder&f=false|title=To Hell or to Monto|last=Curtis|first=Maurice|date=2015|accessdate=23 July 2015|publisher=The History Press Ireland Ltd.}} 7 : 1925 deaths|People murdered in Ireland|Deaths by firearm in Ireland|Irish murder victims|Unsolved murders in Ireland|June 1925 events|1925 in Ireland |
