'Furious' double killer Yousef Palani in charges U-turn against one of Ireland's most dangerous lags after savage attack | KMW003E | 2024-05-01 00:08:01
DOUBLE killer Yousef Palani no longer wants to press charges against one of Ireland's most dangerous lags, we can reveal.
Evil murderer Palani, 24, was battered by deranged killer Stephen Penrose and three others in a cell in B base of Mountjoy Prison last month.
Palani — who had neck and back injuries following the attack — was left outraged by the incident. Although he initially made it clear that he was pressing charges, he has now decided against the move.
It is believed he made the decision over fears he could be targeted once more if he went ahead with the move.
A source explained: "Palani was furious over the attack.
"Basically, Palani wanted to mix with other prisoners, but once he was allowed to do so, Penrose took a real disliking to him.
"Penrose led the attack but was supported by three others. Palani wanted to press charges and made that quite clear but now he's done a full 180 and isn't any more.
"Who knows why, but it could well be he's scared if he did, he'd be targeted again."
It is understood the incident is still under investigation but may not progress without Palani's cooperation.
Penrose, who was isolated after this incident, is one of Ireland's most dangerous and volatile prisoners who has been disciplined over 100 times behind bars.
He is serving a life sentence for the murder of his friend Philip Finnegan in Rahin Woods near Edenderry, Co Offaly, in 2016.
He had previously served nine years for killing David Sharkey in another knife attack in Navan, Co Meath, in 2009, for which he was convicted of manslaughter.
<!-- End of Brightcove Player --> The Irish Sun has also learned Palani has been moved onto C base.
However, sources say he passes his days doing "nothing" as he serves a double life sentence for the brutal murders of two gay men Aidan Moffitt and Michael Snee in Sligo in 2022.
Palani targeted his victims because of his hatred of homosexuality, but gardai believe he himself was gay.
He first attacked brave Anthony Burke, 50, in Sligo in the early hours of April 9, 2022, plunging a knife into his eye.
Burke survived but crazed Palani claimed his first murder with Mr Moffitt, 42, on April 10 after the businessman had left The Village Inn and met his killer at his home at Cartron Heights.
Evil crimes
Palani spent 59 minutes inside the property, where he decapitated Mr Moffitt and left his head on the bed of the bedroom and his body remained on the floor.
Mr Moffitt's friends, who had become concerned for him, made the gruesome discovery the following day.
Mr Snee, 58, was discovered dead in his bedroom two days later at his home at City View, Connaughton Road, Sligo.
Palani left a picture frame over his face as the victim's corpse lay on the floor of his bedroom. Two knives had been laid on the bed in the shape of a cross.
Following both of the murders, Palani – who had befriended his victims on social media – cycled to his local mosque where he prayed during Ramadan.
In an interview with the Irish Sun two years on from the incident earlier this month, Burke – who was left with one eye – branded Palani a "monster" and a "coward".
He told us: "We all know why he did it. He couldn't handle that he was gay. I have nothing to say to him."
