John Mongan Hacked To Death In His Belfast Bed
John Mongan was sleeping peacefully next to his heavily pregnant missus when men burst into his bedroom at Fallswater Street, Belfast. They were armed with hatchets and machetes and murdered him. Mrs Mongan was a witness to this brutal scene. Her two children who were also in the house are unharmed. John Mongan’s vehicle was smashed by the men as they left the scene. Relatives have told the police that other members of the family have also been attacked. His brother said, “At two or three this morning they booted his door and murdered him in his bed for nothing. His wife was injured to the back of her head, a cut to the back. They have only been there about two or three months.” Three men have been arrested and the community is in a state of shock. Derek Hanway said, “nobody can say what the motive is for this, but for a woman to see her husband murdered in such an awful fashion…”
