Satchwell, Gaine Murder Inquiries to Be Reviewed
- This week, Richard Satchwell received a life sentence after being found guilty of murdering his wife Tina at their home in Youghal, Co Cork in March 2017.
- The conviction followed a second search in October 2023 that uncovered Tina’s skeletal remains buried under the stairs more than six years after she was first reported missing.
- Garda Commissioner Drew Harris said the initial 2017 investigation was hamstrung by limited information and that both the Satchwell and Michael Gaine cases are now undergoing official reviews.
- Harris stated it may seem "pretty obvious" in hindsight where Tina’s remains were and emphasized learning lessons from homicides that begin as missing person investigations.
- The reviews aim to improve investigative methods, with reports to be submitted to the Minister for Justice to ensure Garda procedures benefit from the findings.
