'SHE'S AN EVIL MONSTER' - SISTER OF WOMAN WHO MURDERED MASON O'CONNELL CONWAY, 4, SAYS 'SHE FOOLED US ALL'
A sister of child killer Tegan McGhee has called her an “evil monster” who “fooled us all.” Tegan McGhee (32) from Limerick was sentenced to life in prison this week for the brutal murder of her partner’s four-year-old son Mason O’Connell Conway in 2021.
Mason was found with serious head injuries and died three days later.
Mason’s father, John Paul O’Connell, was jailed for seven years for assisting an offender, neglect, and child endangerment.
The Irish Mirror shared images of Tegan, who her sister Shannon describes as an “evil monster” who fooled them all.
Shannon stated she refused "to live in someone else’s shame,” and called her sister “cold and cruel,” and an “evil” who showed no emotion in court.
Mason was kept from his family and believed to have fallen from a bunk bed, but was later found to have been subjected to abuse, with his mother Elizabeth Conway speaking of her courage in court and the need for justice.
Mason died on March 13, 2021, from a traumatic head injury.
The judge highlighted that Mason was deliberately isolated and abused, with McGhee and O’Connell deceiving relatives and medical professionals, causing damage to Mason and the family.
Mason’s mother expressed her everlasting grief and guilt, emphasizing the lasting impact of the tragedy.
Justice is seen as finally served for Mason, whose story was marked by betrayal and cruelty.
