McGrath was convicted for murdering 33-year-old Sylvia Roche Kelly in Limerick in December 2007 – while on bail for other serious crimes.
Could Sylvia’s death have been avoided? There is much to indicate that it could have been.
Earlier that year, in April 2007, McGrath had attacked taxi driver Mary Lynch after getting her to drive him from Kells, Co Meath to what he claimed was his sister’s house in Cavan. He was released on bail.
Six months later, in October 2007, still on bail, McGrath was caught trying to abduct a five-year-old girl from a house in Tipperary, causing her injury. Again he was released on bail.
The final – and fatal escalation – of McGrath’s violence came on the night he met Sylvia Roche-Kelly in a Limerick nightclub and took her back to his hotel room in the city, where he went into a rage, attacked and killed her. Her body was found naked, face down in a bath in the room on 8 December 2007.
