Man Jailed for Killing Aunt with Teleporter Released
Locals question the swift release of Michael Scott, convicted of his aunt's murder, after only three years.
Michael Scott has returned to live on the family farm in Portumna, Co. Galway, where he killed his aunt, Chrissie Treacy, in 2018. Scott was jailed for the death of his aunt, who he killed using a teleporter. He has been released just three years after his conviction, prompting questions from locals, some of whom testified against him.
Scott was initially charged with murder but was later convicted of manslaughter. Following the deaths of Ms. Treacy's brothers, Scott was in possession of half the land at Derryhiney, while Ms. Treacy owned the other half. The incident occurred on April 27, 2018, outside Ms. Treacy's home in Derryhiney, Portumna. Scott's conviction and subsequent release have become a topic of discussion in the local community.
