TWO IRISH MEN HELD AFTER THAI KNIFE RAMPAGE
Dubliners arrested as four wounded in red-light bar brawl
TWO Dublin men have been arrested in Thailand after allegedly going on a drunken rampage in a bar, leaving four people in hospital with serious stab wounds. Two men, named locally as Darren Delaney (39) and Thomas Plunkett (40), were arrested yesterday morning after a brawl outside two seedy bars in the red-light district of Pattaya.
Local police were called at 4.30am local time with a report that two foreigners were fighting with locals outside the 'Pussy Bar' and 'Boom Boom Bar'. Cops arrived to find a security guard lying on the ground with a stab wound to the upper thigh. Yongyuth Yaiying (23) was rushed to Pattaya Memorial Hospital for treatment and had lost a lot of blood.
Stab
A second person, 41 year-old motorcycle taxi driver Phromma Traisawan, had already been taken to hospital by the time police arrived with serious multiple stab wounds to his body and neck. Both of the victims were said to have been unconscious when they were taken away by ambulance. Witnesses said that two men had carried out the stabbings and fled on a motorcycle. One of the bar owners identified Darren Philip Delaney to cops. Delaney is originally from Dublin and it is not clear how long he has been in Thailand.
Police are investigating allegations by the bar owner who said that the Irish man had paid for two prostitutes and that he and Plunkett took them home. However, the girls returned to the bar a short time later and said they were afraid because the two men were so drunk. It's alleged that Delaney then staggered back to the bar looking for the girls and demanding his money back.
When he was refused any cash he began to get very aggressive. The bar owner told police she didn't want any trouble and refunded the money. It is then that Delaney allegedly lost the plot and attacked two customers and a handful of taxi drivers who arrived to try to restrain him.
THIS is gangster 'Fat' Freddie Thompson's girlfriend posing for photographs at a fundraiser for suicide awareness last week. Vicky Dempsey (31) has been dating 'Fat' Freddie since they were teenagers and has stayed loyal to the notorious criminal through thick and thin. 
Alan McNally (36) was no stranger to firearms, as can be seen in this picture. But the keen hunter was still not on the radar as a major criminal when he was singled out and shot six times in a Dublin pub last week - three years after his brother was murdered in another underworld assassination.
Eyebrows were raised when it emerged that McNally had been drinking in the pub with a man who was arrested over his brother's murder. Graham McNally (34) was shot in the head six times after being lured to a meeting the Old Asbourne Road in January 2009. He was set up by his associate Eamonn 'the Don' Dunne when he became paranoid that his own gang members were conspiring against him. The 27-year-old from Finglas was one of a number of people arrested over that murder but never charged in connection with the offence. 
Gardai are also investigating if a tiger kidnap gang from north Dublin were behind the attack. A key figure in that gang is a serious criminal originally from the Malahide Road in north Dublin. The drug dealer and tiger kidnapper is suspected of involvement in several killings, including that of Patrick Lawlor who has not been seen since December 2004 and is feared dead.The killing was believed to be drug related. Lawlor's pal James Purdue was shot dead in Donaghmede two years later. 
The aggressive thug, who has a short fuse previously threatened to kill a garda who was investigating him. He is suspected of being behind several tiger kidnappings and robberies. Gardai are appealing for anyone with information on Thursday's murder to come forward. The gunman was described as 6ft tall, well built, and was wearing a blue hooded top and black tracksuit bottoms. The second man, who was outside, was around 5ft 10in in height, of slim build and wearing white or grey tracksuit bottoms, a black hooded top, white runners, gloves and the Scream mask. 
TRAGIC Rudo Mawere met evil Jasper Taruvinga in church but quickly realised that he was far from Christian when she loaned him €150 and he refused to pay her back. Rudo had a brief and lethal romance with Taruvinga, who also went by the alias Jason Dube, before he killed her and stuffed her body into a suitcase.
He then fled the country on a ferry. But he couldn't leave the UK and he couldn't stay as he was wanted for the rape and knew he would also be deported to Ireland to face trial for Rudo's murder. So he decided to hang himself as the murder hunt got underway.
