00:00so she'd rang me that day and said to me and what time you finished workout will

00:12you throw some lashes on me before I go out she literally had the most infectious laugh ever

00:1930 year old single mom Nadine Lott is getting ready for a festive night out she was going out

00:28for her auntie's birthday she'd always love a good night out that's kind of the way she was

00:36a young girl out having fun with her friends I knew that he had sent just a text where are you

00:45what are you doing his obsession is that Nadine isn't out with her family she's out with another

00:52man I really think that this was something that was festering in his mind

00:59we went into the kitchen she was making gas and sounds you couldn't see her face

01:10it was like a scene out of a horror movie

01:16Nadine lives in the small Irish seaside town of Orkla with her young daughter

01:36she was a single mom she had her own apartment she was doing really really well

01:43she followed a career in the beauty industry so she followed her goal and she followed her aim so

01:52she had a an idea of what she wanted to do and she followed it through

01:55going to work for Nadine was not a job she loved what she did she loved her colleagues

02:03she absolutely adored her clients built great relationships with them as far as we were

02:09concerned everything was rosy

02:11Nadine plans a relaxing day with friends and family in the lead-up to Christmas her ex of six years has

02:38agreed to babysit their daughter 32 year old Daniel Murtagh an amateur MMA fighter from Dublin remains

02:46involved in his daughter's life we were all at a spa day and Nadine said to me everything is civil

02:53everything is going well long may it last Nadine actually thought that he possibly was seeing somebody

03:01else because she said he's in good form and I hope he is I hope he's seen somebody else

03:07murder had been obsessing over his ex-girlfriend Nadine but appears to have taken steps to stabilize

03:15his life outwardly showing signs of greater maturity and a renewed focus on his role as a father

03:22every weekend for him was training hard during the week you know and engaging in the odd mixed martial art fight

03:36Stephen Breen is an established Irish crime journalist

03:40Nadine still included Daniel Murtagh in his daughter's life despite the previous behavior of being quite intimidating but she still wanted to include him that reflects her caring nature

03:54Nadine has invited Daniel to come and watch their daughter in her school nativity

04:05he was coming down for the show and she was going to rent his birthday party after it

04:17I was aware that she would have to confirm to him that your relationship is with your daughter there is no relationship with me

04:31Murtagh would stay the night before taking his daughter back to Dublin the next day to go Christmas shopping

04:39not something not something that had ever happened before

04:43they'd gone through the whole bad patch and now he was being okay again

04:49but unknown to Nadine and her family

04:53Daniel Murtagh hasn't given up the dream of rekindling the relationship

04:58you have to think of Murtagh's mindset and what was going through his head

05:04when he was coming down to Arklo to attend his daughter's nativity play

05:09again you go back to his ego you go back to his sense of delusion where he's been invited down to Arklo

05:15is this an opportunity for him to reconnect with Nadine is this an opportunity for him to start their relationship again

05:22I think he was being nice because he had some sort of mad illusion that you know him and Nadine were going to give it a go

05:33there was no doubt in any of our minds that there was nothing going on there

05:38we all met in her apartment went to the show

05:42Murtagh was at the show as well and I always remember coming out of that show

05:49Nadine came out behind me and she just said see you later and that was the last time I seen her alive

05:56Nadine has just dropped her daughter back at her apartment

06:04Daniel Murtagh is to babysit at her home

06:13the first time this has happened since the couple split six years ago

06:17she trusted him to look after their child while she went out with her family to celebrate a family event

06:25Nadine was going to her auntie's 50th birthday in the local pub

06:32the last night that I spent with Nadine we came to Christy's bar and lounge for a meal with my family

06:42this is actually where we parked our cars Nadine's car was parked here

06:47she came a little bit later because she was bringing the birthday cake with her

06:52there's a very special occasion they've been to the nativity play they're going to a family

07:03birthday party it's Christmas she's enjoying herself

07:07Nadine was so happy that night I mean she was so upbeat making plans for Christmas

07:15there's nothing about her on that night that would have said to me that I didn't think to be concerned about

07:24about 12 of us all sitting around talking at a table

07:30with Irish people we all talk over each other so there's a lot of chat

07:34Nadine wasn't sitting right beside me Nadine was sitting beside my father

07:40because she took on the role after my mother

07:43of supporting my father he was saying she was his date for the night

07:48he had been calling her that night to see where she was or what time she was coming home at

07:59I knew that he had sent just a text

08:05you know where are you what are you doing

08:08there was nothing made of that text

08:10there wasn't always text I got to go or anything

08:13there's clearly an element of delusion there because his obsession is that

08:19Nadine isn't out with her family

08:22she's out with another man

08:23why isn't she out with me

08:24she's on a date with someone else

08:26why isn't she home yet

08:27and thereby undermining his ego

08:30and undermining his image

08:31I said I was going to go

08:35but I'd only had a baby

08:37she was only a couple of months old at the time

08:38so I kind of just backed out at the end

08:40and I still think about that

08:43if I did go out would it have been different

08:45because I would have like walked her home

08:47I only live kind of two or three minutes up the road

08:50would I have walked up and would it have been different

08:52Arclough is a seaside town on the east coast of Ireland

09:09it's a very vibrant community

09:12people from all kinds of life live in Arclough

09:14it's not far from Dublin

09:16only an hour's drive away

09:17it's a popular town

09:20people who want to live near the seaside

09:22but still work in the city

09:23we go back generations

09:29I was born here

09:31my parents and grandparents

09:33on both sides

09:35are all Arclough

09:37so our family are very integrated

09:39here

09:40Nadine Lott

09:48born in 1989

09:50is the second of four children to David and Clare Lott

09:53my earliest memory of Nadine was actually when she was born

09:57when you looked at her

09:59she had two big brown eyes

10:01and that stuck with me forever

10:03she loved other kids being around her

10:08people would actually look forward to babysitting her

10:11because it would bring happiness into the room

10:13when she'd walk in

10:14even as a child

10:14my earliest memory was probably Christmas

10:19Nadine got a Polaroid camera

10:21and we took a picture

10:22and we're like messy hair

10:24pyjamas

10:25and we looked absolutely ridiculous

10:27but I think I was only about five or six

10:29at the time

10:30but it sums up mine and Nadine's relationship

10:32it was always about fun

10:33and capturing her memories

10:35Nadine always brought the fun to my childhood

10:37I remember Nadine as my baby

10:45my fun loving baby

10:48who as she grew became one of my best friends

10:51young Nadine quickly develops into an ambitious person

11:01her passions are fashion and beauty

11:03she's busy

11:04she knew very early on

11:10she wanted to go into makeup

11:12she knew she wanted to be a beautician

11:14there was no question around it

11:16she was one of those children

11:17who knew exactly what she wanted to do

11:19and she also knew exactly what she needed to do together

11:23you just felt like she knew what she was doing

11:26she had it all worked out

11:28she knew what she was doing in life

11:29she knew what she wanted

11:30she was very cute

11:32so confident

11:33really just such a kind girl

11:36we always say that Nadine was like the real glue to our group

11:39I was the total opposite to her

11:46she was a social butterfly

11:48she just brought that out in me

11:50she was such a genuine person

11:51that you actually really believed in every word that she said

11:55and you felt invincible with her

11:57like many young people

12:11Nadine has dreams of adventure and opportunity

12:13so at the age of 23

12:15she decides to follow her friends to Australia

12:18I remember like yesterday

12:27the day she was leaving

12:28she had worked extremely hard to get this money

12:31to go to Australia

12:32she did it all herself

12:33she didn't want support to do that

12:35like many of her friends

12:37and indeed across many towns across Ireland

12:39people went to Australia

12:40for a better life

12:42for adventure

12:43just to experience something different

12:48after arriving in Perth

12:53Nadine plans to take a short trip to Darwin

12:56but whilst there

12:57her plans suddenly change

13:00I was going to Perth as well

13:02but I thought Nadine was going to be in Perth as well

13:04but she hadn't come back down from Darwin

13:06because she'd met Dan

13:07Nadine has met Daniel Murta

13:11a 26 year old from Dublin

13:13and an amateur mixed martial arts enthusiast

13:16he's been working as a labourer in Australia

13:18for the previous 18 months

13:20Murta was someone who was very athletic

13:24he was very focused on his image

13:25but he was also very charming as well

13:28I think she was living in a world

13:31that was like paradise

13:32and they had a good relationship in Australia

13:35so life would have been looking good for her over there

13:37it was all fun

13:41and it was literally like the holiday romance

13:42I was like what's he like

13:44she was like oh yeah he's really fun

13:47really fun

13:47but not someone that you'd bring home to your mamita

13:50but Nadine is unaware of Daniel Murta's troubling reputation

13:58back in Dublin

13:59growing up Daniel Murta was a bit of a loner

14:03acted as a bit of a bully

14:04was involved in numerous fights

14:06but they were always kids who were a lot younger

14:08and not smaller than he was

14:10but as he grew older he became fascinated by martial arts

14:13it was all about looking after himself

14:15and training hard during the week

14:16you know and engaging in the odd mixed martial art fight

14:20he needed someone like Nadine

14:23who was you know a beautiful young woman

14:26people saw Nadine as like a trophy to him

14:28where it wasn't just about him

14:30and her having this loving relationship

14:33it was about him having someone that fitted his image

14:36but the holiday romance is about to be tested

14:41after just nine months in Australia

14:44Nadine makes a discovery

14:46she's pregnant

14:48so she had phoned me and she was like

14:53oh my god oh my god you're not going to believe I'm pregnant

14:55and I was like okay

14:57well you need to tell ma'am

14:59I just knew

15:02I just knew

15:03I had that deep feeling

15:05I knew what she was going to tell me

15:07so when she said it to me

15:08it wasn't a shock

15:10Nadine came home almost immediately after finding out that she was pregnant

15:33all we wanted to do was get her home and give her a hug

15:37and say evening you'll be all right

15:39and we loved her even more because she was pregnant

15:42there was absolutely never a doubt

15:47she wanted her baby

15:49and that was it

15:50however instead of returning to Ireland with his pregnant girlfriend

15:56Daniel Murta decides to stay behind in Australia

16:00I think that showed his narcissism

16:03and how selfish he was

16:05because even then his focus was on staying in Australia

16:08rather than returning to Ireland straight away

16:11in November 2013

16:15Nadine gives birth to a baby girl

16:18she was so natural with it

16:21she absolutely adored her

16:23she loved that all the family made such a fuss

16:28and how much we all loved her

16:31took to motherhood like a duck to water

16:34it was natural for her

16:35Daniel Murta has by now returned to Ireland from Australia

16:47to be reunited with Nadine and the couple's daughter

16:50for her the most important thing was providing a strong family network for her child

16:56and part of that family network included having the child's father in her life

17:01so Nadine was determined to make this work

17:04they moved in here

17:08and he was always talking about the next big job he was going to have

17:11he always had the next business venture in mind

17:14but none of it ever, ever materialised

17:18after a few months of finding their feet

17:23the young couple move in together

17:25in an apartment in Auckland's marina district

17:27but Nadine's friends

17:31are starting to have doubts

17:33about Daniel Murta

17:34he wasn't consistently there

17:37like a father should be

17:38he didn't want the whole family side of life

17:41he just wanted her

17:42and he didn't want the responsibilities

17:44that came having a family either

17:45like he was all into his gym

17:47and his MMA fighting

17:49like he did come across

17:50kind of

17:51like you know

17:52look at me

17:52I have the muscles

17:53and look at the girl that I've got

17:55that he did not deserve

17:58and it isn't long before Nadine realises

18:02she's made a mistake

18:04they were probably in the apartment

18:07a few weeks

18:08and Nadine decided

18:10no it wasn't working

18:11he moved out

18:14and she was much happier

18:16but she always wanted

18:18her daughter to know

18:21who her father was

18:22and have a relationship

18:23and that was very important to her

18:25so she maintained

18:28a relationship through contact

18:30Daniel Murta moves back

18:35to his family home in Dublin

18:37but he keeps tabs on Nadine's whereabouts

18:41he definitely had somebody down here

18:44who was able to tell him

18:45what Nadine was doing

18:46he would send her text messages

18:49and say

18:50what were you doing with this person

18:51or in this place

18:53he knew

18:55what she was doing

18:57or who she was seeing

18:58she was single

19:04it was completely within her rights

19:07to do that if she wanted to

19:08and the next morning she got abusive texts

19:12about who had she been out with

19:15he had this delusion

19:19that perhaps one day

19:20they could get back together

19:21and be a family again

19:23Murta was on the outside

19:26looking in

19:27he could clearly see

19:28that she was going places

19:29he could clearly see

19:30that she had a future

19:31and he couldn't cope with that

19:33because of his ego

19:34because everything about him

19:36was all focused on

19:38what he could get out

19:39with this relationship

19:40Nadine Lott

19:54now living in her own home

19:56in Arklow Island

19:57has just begun a new job

19:59as a beautician

19:59at a well-known Dublin beauty salon

20:01She wanted to be in the beauty industry

20:07she followed that dream

20:08any problems along the way

20:10Nadine would think about them

20:11find a solution for them

20:13and tackle them straight ahead

20:14She had a certain

20:17vibrancy about her

20:18she wasn't just looking for a job

20:21she was looking to become

20:22a part of something

20:23She loved it

20:25she's always had the passion for beauty

20:27and I think this was like

20:28an extra step

20:29Nadine's ex

20:34Daniel Murta

20:35continues to care for their daughter

20:37every other weekend

20:38and becomes increasingly aware

20:40of Nadine's newfound success

20:43in financial stability

20:44I think he was jealous

20:49of Nadine

20:51and how successful she was

20:53in her career

20:54and how she was getting on

20:55with her life

20:56and she had a lovely little life

20:57for herself

20:58Nadine's newfound success

21:13Nadine, raised in a close loving family

21:16dreams of the same

21:17for her own daughter

21:18Since their child's birth

21:21Daniel Murta

21:22has remained part of their lives

21:24quietly holding on to the hope

21:26of one day reuniting with Nadine.

21:30Eventually, Myrta suggests a fresh start.

21:34We always just thought that he just wanted to have Nadine for himself.

21:39She was gorgeous.

21:40I'd say he was kicking himself that he ever let her go.

21:44I think she always wanted a perfect family.

21:49So she always wanted her daughter to have a relationship with her father.

21:56Three years after they first separated,

21:59Nadine decides to give the relationship with Daniel Myrta another chance

22:03and begins looking for an appropriate house for the family to move into.

22:08As a best friend, you support them no matter what,

22:11and you'll stick by them even though you know you're going to be picking up the pieces again.

22:17He wasn't mature.

22:19He wasn't extremely bright.

22:20But there must be something there that would make him eventually want to be a dad

22:27to this absolutely amazing child.

22:32Having signed the contract to rent a family home,

22:36Nadine has high expectations for her family's future.

22:39Everything was done.

22:42They were due to move in on, I think it was the Monday.

22:49The day that they were supposed to move into the house,

22:52nobody could locate him.

22:54It was my 21st, so it was a big moment in my life.

23:02And I remember blowing out my candles and Nadine running, crying.

23:08And it was a couple of days later that she made contact with him,

23:13but he made it very clear that he didn't want this.

23:17He didn't want to move in together and to make that moment.

23:22When it came to the crunch, he ran.

23:26She just tried over and over again for her family to make a go of it,

23:30but that was the last straw.

23:33She had told everyone about the excitement of her moving into this house with her daughter

23:37and, you know, getting this family unit, and she was embarrassed.

23:41She was absolutely done after that.

23:43She was quick to let him know

23:45that there was nothing ever going to happen ever again.

23:59Despite Nadine making it clear to Daniel

24:03that any possibility of them rekindling their relationship has now disappeared,

24:07he again begins to keep a close eye on Nadine

24:11and any possible new relationships he suspects she's involved in.

24:16She was trying to make it clear that she did not want him

24:18and there was never going to be a relationship there again.

24:20So he was just convinced,

24:22if she doesn't want me, she must have somebody else.

24:24But at that time, she actually didn't have anybody else.

24:26We could clearly see glimpses of his behaviour

24:31and his disdain for Nadine,

24:34and that included him sending text messages.

24:38I know who he is, I know where you are, I know where you're going.

24:46She'd never give him, like, you know, that reaction that he's looking for.

24:49He'd be trying to get her riled up,

24:51and she was like, I'm not going to reply to that.

24:53She wouldn't reply to him.

24:54She'd say, look at these, and I was just not replying.

24:57Though she didn't know what way she could stop it from happening,

25:01she never thought about going further and reporting it or anything

25:03because I don't think she thought there was any seriousness in it.

25:09Although there was no sign of any violence

25:11during their relationship when they were together,

25:14this is a precursor, perhaps, to what he did do eventually,

25:18and it showed his intent.

25:26The relationship that they had was just because of her daughter.

25:39That was all it was.

25:41This showed her caring nature

25:47because he was the father of their child.

25:54She said to me, I remember, I couldn't give him an inkling

25:57that we would ever be a chance of us getting back together

26:00because we're finally co-parenting quite well now.

26:03Absolutely no way would Nadine have allowed him

26:23to be with her daughter

26:25if she knew or suspected

26:28he was going to be drinking.

26:30That wouldn't have happened.

26:32There would have been alternative plans made.

26:34So we finished our meal.

26:41I didn't want to stay on.

26:43I wanted to go home.

26:44I was driving.

26:47So I brought my father in that home.

26:51Nadine had said she was going to stay

26:52and have a drink with a friend of mine and her husband.

26:57And when I got home, it was raining.

27:00So I texted Nadine and said to Nadine,

27:02it doesn't matter what time,

27:03if you need a lift home, call me

27:05and I'll bring you home.

27:07And I never got an answer.

27:18Nadine asked, could anyone find a taxi?

27:21And I found a taxi.

27:22So, yeah, a local chap.

27:33Nadine arrives home to the smell of cannabis

27:36and to Daniel Murtagh, who's been drinking heavily.

27:41At the end of the night, Nadine comes home

27:43to be with her daughter.

27:46Shortly after Nadine returns home,

27:48a neighbour reports the sounds of a disturbance.

27:51The negative feelings had reached boiling point.

27:57And he was of the mindset that,

28:00I am going to stop her from having a good life.

28:02I am going to stop her from having a relationship with someone else.

28:06His mindset was, if I can't have her, then no one can.

28:09And that's when he launched this ferocious attack against her.

28:12Daniel Murtagh, trained in mixed martial arts,

28:18unleashes a brutal and sustained assault.

28:22Murtagh would have known full well

28:24how Nadine took care of herself,

28:27how her image was very important to her.

28:29When he inflicted this damage upon her,

28:32he was used to using his fists.

28:35It was so violent and so sustained

28:38that he continued that attack

28:39to make sure that when he left Nadine lying there,

28:43no one would know who she was

28:44and she would be unrecognisable to those who loved her.

28:49What was going to hurt her most was to disfigure her.

28:53This was something that would really cause her

28:56the most pain was to change her look.

29:01So there did appear to be an element of vindictiveness,

29:04like it was being focused on changing her appearance,

29:08the thing that mattered so much to her.

29:17The neighbour, a former classmate of her younger sister, Phoebe,

29:21is concerned enough to raise the alarm

29:23and contacts both the Gardee and Nadine's family.

29:27She had basically rang

29:29to say that Dan had stabbed Nadine

29:32and we needed to come quick.

29:35I remember getting up,

29:36just darting down to mam's room.

29:40We were asleep

29:40and Phoebe came running down the hall

29:44and said,

29:45mammy, quick, get up with you, go into Nadine's.

29:49I remember us all joking into the car,

29:51what seemed like a two-second drive.

29:54That's when Murtagh then fled the scene

29:59and got into his car

30:00and tried to travel back to Dublin.

30:02First, Nadine's mother, brother and sister arrive.

30:15It's a chaotic scene.

30:16We were just running around the apartment

30:19trying to find her.

30:22We went into the kitchen.

30:25She was in the corner,

30:27just thrown in the corner

30:29and there was gloom to absolutely everywhere.

30:31she was making

30:34gasping sounds.

30:39You couldn't see her face

30:40but I kept telling her that

30:43you're okay, I'm here.

30:44Your baby's okay.

30:46Your baby's fine.

30:47Don't worry now.

30:48Everything's going to be okay.

30:49I remember my instinct

30:58to save my daughter kicking in

31:00and doing what I need to do

31:05until the experts get here

31:07and save her.

31:12Nadine is taken to hospital by paramedics.

31:1564 injuries to her body.

31:20He better to a pulp.

31:24There wasn't practically a bone

31:26anywhere in Nadine's body

31:28that wasn't broken.

31:32Nadine was beautiful.

31:34He did destroy her face.

31:37It's obviously where he really, really focused

31:40whatever was inside him.

31:45Murtaugh, meanwhile, has fled

31:50attempting to escape in his car

31:52over the Wicklow Mountains.

31:54So Murtaugh's trying to flee the scene

31:56trying to escape justice

31:58by leaving Arklow

31:59and heading back to his native Dublin.

32:03But he's going over the mountains.

32:04He's not going on the motorway.

32:06He's thinking that I can avoid

32:07any police checkpoints

32:09or any guarded checkpoints.

32:11What could instigate that

32:15in any human being

32:16to do it to anybody

32:17never mind the mother

32:19of your child?

32:2134-year-old Daniel Murtaugh

32:26has just brutally attacked

32:41his ex-girlfriend, Nadine Lott.

32:44She has sustained multiple broken bones

32:46and a stab wound to the neck.

32:48Murtaugh has also mutilated her face

32:51before leaving her for dead.

32:54But whilst on the run

32:55over the Wicklow Mountains

32:57Murtaugh crashes his car.

33:02He crashes the car

33:03and the first things he says

33:05to the members of the Gardaugh

33:07who came upon this accident

33:09were,

33:09I've just killed my wife

33:11and then this is followed by

33:12I've just killed my girlfriend.

33:15It got the investigators

33:16thinking as well

33:17this is the individual

33:18we're looking for.

33:19It automatically gets

33:20the alarm bells ringing

33:21so he will be brought in

33:22for questioning.

33:26Nadine Lott, meanwhile,

33:28has made it to hospital.

33:29She's still alive

33:30and being treated

33:31for her injuries.

33:35Numerous, numerous,

33:36numerous injuries.

33:37She was unrecognisable.

33:39She needed over 20

33:41if not more

33:41blood transfusions.

33:45They were trying to get

33:46all the details

33:46what had actually happened,

33:48how bad was it.

33:49Phoebe could hardly talk.

33:51So I just said,

33:53look, go,

33:54do whatever you need,

33:54just keep us updated.

33:57We all just lost it, I think.

33:59We drove home in silence.

34:01We drove straight to the church.

34:05What else can you do?

34:06You don't know what to do

34:07in those situations.

34:08I don't know how we ended up

34:09in the church,

34:09but we did.

34:13The four of us sat there

34:14and this lady came over to us

34:16and said,

34:16I was in here for your friend

34:17because the whole town

34:18knew about it.

34:19And she gave us

34:20these little medals

34:21and she said,

34:22youse will be okay.

34:23Youse will be okay.

34:23Nadine's friends

34:39organise a vigil,

34:40bringing the community together,

34:42lighting candles

34:43and praying for her survival.

34:48I was made aware

34:49that there was a vigil.

34:50And, you know,

34:57at the time you're

34:57you're just thinking,

34:59okay, all of this

35:00it just has to work.

35:02I don't even think

35:09an animal would do as bad

35:10to what he had left her like.

35:15It was absolutely horrific.

35:16Nothing could spark that.

35:19How he could do

35:20the damage that he did

35:21is just unfathomable.

35:24It's not a human,

35:25a monster creature.

35:26I said,

35:27it's just pure evil.

35:32They up read,

35:33but they just could not do

35:35anything to save her life.

35:36She was beaten so badly.

35:44And Nadine lived

35:46until the Tuesday

35:47at three o'clock.

35:48The nurse let us know

35:53when she had

35:54slipped away.

35:59Once I had

36:00formally identified her,

36:02they take her away,

36:03straight away.

36:04Her body now

36:05becomes

36:06evidence.

36:07It was a harrowing court case.

36:37Myrta

36:39adding more trauma

36:40and pain

36:41to Nadine's family.

36:44Horrific

36:45to have to sit

36:47in

36:48two feet

36:50of him.

36:51He was basically

36:52sitting beside us.

36:54During the court case,

36:56he would often smirk

36:57at the gallery.

36:58He didn't have many

36:59supporters in the gallery,

37:01unlike Nadine,

37:02who had her family,

37:03her friends there.

37:05Totally unbelievable

37:06for him to put us

37:07through a trial

37:08where we had to relive

37:09and be re-traumatized

37:11for the sake of him

37:12trying to get

37:12a leaner sentence.

37:16Myrta's defence team

37:17argues that his actions

37:18amount to manslaughter

37:20rather than murder.

37:21Claiming that Nadine

37:22was still his girlfriend,

37:24Myrta's legal team

37:25presents his attack

37:25as a moment

37:26of diminished responsibility

37:28in a case

37:29of domestic violence.

37:30There was no relationship.

37:34They were not living together.

37:36The only thing

37:37they had done together

37:38was have a child

37:41and were together

37:42for a very short

37:43period of time.

37:45He is trying to insist

37:47that he was drunk,

37:48he was high,

37:49you know,

37:50he didn't intend

37:50to kill her.

37:52But due to the level

37:53of violence,

37:54it was quite evident

37:55that he intended

37:56to kill Nadine.

37:57This was a premeditated murder

37:59because he couldn't

38:00be with her.

38:02I think it just shows

38:03the character

38:03of the pepper trader

38:04and what sort

38:05of individual he was.

38:07Shows his disdain

38:08for Nadine.

38:10Shows his disdain

38:11for our family.

38:12Shows the type

38:12of character he is.

38:25At the Central Criminal Court

38:28in Dublin,

38:30Daniel Murtagh

38:31is sentenced to prison.

38:35The jury gave

38:36a unanimous

38:37verdict

38:39and as each of them

38:41were walking out,

38:43acknowledged me.

38:45They all nodded.

38:47Nadine's family

38:48is now campaigning

38:49to change the law

38:50to increase

38:51the length of sentences

38:52in cases like this.

38:55It's like,

38:56what's life?

38:57What does that mean?

38:58He's got the maximum,

38:59he's got the minimum.

39:00What does this mean?

39:03And then you find out

39:05exactly what it means.

39:07Life isn't life

39:08in this country.

39:09And there are

39:10no degrees

39:12of

39:14homicide

39:15in this country.

39:18Anyone convicted

39:19of murder

39:20could only apply

39:21for parole

39:23after 12 years.

39:24but that's still

39:25something that

39:26Nadine's family

39:27will have to contend

39:27where they will have

39:29to make their

39:31resolutions

39:31and make their

39:32submissions as to

39:33why he shouldn't

39:33be freed.

39:34He gets to see

39:35those submissions

39:35but they don't

39:36get to see his.

39:37So that's one area

39:38of the law

39:38where many victims'

39:39families have

39:40concerns about

39:41but he has received

39:42a life sentence now

39:43so it'll be a long

39:44time before he's

39:45released from prison.

39:46But again,

39:47in 12 years' time

39:48he can still apply

39:48for parole

39:49and therefore

39:50cause more trauma

39:50to the family.

39:53I don't think

39:54I have any feelings

39:55towards him

39:56because I just

39:58don't even waste

39:59a second of my day

40:01giving him

40:02a cut.

40:03He's a waste of space

40:05and he's a waste of time

40:06so I don't

40:07waste my time.

40:09You can come to terms

40:10with something

40:10so horrific

40:12but we don't

40:13have closure.

40:14He took so much

40:15away from us.

40:37Turn out from

40:38Nadine's funeral

40:38was absolutely amazing.

40:42That was a great

40:44solace in itself

40:45to see so many

40:46people there.

40:47The community

40:48was a great source

40:49of inspiration.

40:55Sometimes it's

40:56harder than others

40:56to come up

40:57cause she shouldn't

40:59be here.

41:01You know,

41:01she's only part of

41:02you.

41:04Still sit here

41:05in disbelief

41:06when you see her name

41:07on the grave.

41:09You know?

41:11Just...

41:12it just doesn't

41:13make any sense.

41:14It's just unbelievable.

41:16And unbearable.

41:21She was taken

41:22from everybody.

41:24Her love for life

41:25is something

41:25that I try to live by

41:26because

41:27she helped me

41:29so much.

41:31How

41:31one person

41:32can be a best friend

41:33to everybody

41:34is just

41:34a massive uniqueness

41:36as well.

41:36She lived life

41:41to the fullest.

41:42She was just

41:43always so happy

41:44and positive.

41:46A really

41:47great friend.

41:48We miss her so much.

41:51Everyone needs to remember

41:53and see Nadine

41:54for who she was

41:55not what happened

41:56to her.

41:57When anyone

41:58sees her photos

42:00it's always

42:01smiling,

42:02laughing.

42:02and she was

42:04such a fun person.

42:06She's in every

42:07single conversation

42:08we have.

42:09She's part

42:10of our family

42:11and that's it.

42:13We talk about her,

42:14what she would have

42:15thought,

42:16what she would have

42:17done

42:17and I want her

42:19remembered

42:19for the caring,

42:21loving,

42:22beautiful person

42:23that she was.

42:26I'd like her to be

42:27remembered as a genuine,

42:29loving,

42:30caring,

42:31sensitive person.

42:34She was beautiful

42:35both inside and out.

42:36As a parent

42:49you're there

42:50to protect

42:50your child.

43:01I can hear

43:02my child screaming

43:03so I can hear

43:04her cries.

43:05so you know

43:06it's living

43:07with those

43:07nightmares,

43:09with those

43:09flashbacks,

43:11your sleepless nights,

43:12your anxieties

43:13and just the emptiness.

43:15I'm like somebody

43:16who passes

43:17from an illness

43:18where you get

43:19that time

43:19to spend with them

43:20and say goodbye.

43:22We never got to say

43:23goodbye to Nadine.

43:28Was there something

43:29different

43:29you should have done

43:30on that night,

43:31you could have done

43:32on that night?

43:35That's what life

43:36is now.

43:38You live your life

43:39on what-ifs.

43:46In 2021,

43:48Daniel Murta

43:48is finally

43:49imprisoned

43:50for his brutal attack

43:51in Oklo

43:53Nadine Lott,

43:54a loving mother,

43:56daughter,

43:57sister and friend,
