Murders of Aidan Moffitt and Michael Snee

In April 2022, Aidan Moffitt (aged 42) and Michael Snee (aged 58) were found murdered in their own homes in Sligo, Ireland, in the space of 24 hours. Both men were found with serious physical injuries due to a physical assault, around 1 km apart in the town.

Separate murder investigations into their deaths were conducted, with Gardaí probing links to a serial killer. Yousef Palani, who is Muslim and of Iraqi descent, was arrested on 12April, and was charged with the murders the following day. On 23October 2023, Palani was sentenced to life in prison for the murders and also received a 20-year sentence for assaulting a third man, who lost the sight of one eye as a result of the attack.
