G. Gordon Liddy at that time was not a name to be found in history books, synonymous with a political scandal against which all subsequent scandals have since been compared. He was a Dutchess County assistant district attorney with political aspirations.
Though his travels over 90 years took him around the world, to the White House, to prison, to wealth, fame and infamy, he will be laid to rest in Poughkeepsie, where he began to raise his family.
Liddy, known best as the mastermind of the Watergate heist, will have a funeral mass on Friday at the same church where he married Frances, before he is buried in Poughkeepsie alongside her.
Megan McAlorum s killer Thomas Purcell to be freed Megan McAlorum (16) was murdered in 2004
Killer Thomas Purcell is to be released from prison in March.
The murderer of west Belfast teenager Megan McAlorum is to be released from prison following an application to the parole board.
Thomas Purcell murdered the 16-year-old in 2004 in an attack so brutal that her family had to have a closed coffin.
The killing shocked the community of west Belfast due to the savage nature of the attack and the age of both the victim and the killer.
Thomas Purcell was only 16 at the time, but had already clocked up a number of previous convictions.
Before that, he’d gone to hospital pretending he was ill in a bid to provide a false alibi.
Purcell was later sentenced to 15 years in prison and was initially sent to a young offenders centre.
However, when he turned 21, he was due to be sent to HMP Maghaberry but he argued there would be a threat to his life there.
He was then transferred to an English prison, but Megan s family only found out about the move through the press and spoke of their anger at the time that the Prison Service hadn t informed the family.
Purcell was due to be freed in 2019 but he was still deemed too dangerous to be released into the community. He was given March as a release date after reapplying.
