Incompetent police are a few notches lower if you ask me.

Solicitors/Lawyers/Barristers are the lowest form of people, they’re like leeches! They have no morals whatsoever, they are always trying to find the slightest due diligence failure to get every case thrown out, even if it is obvious that people did something. Particularly for “inadmissable” evidence (with the exception of unsubstantiated evidence) For example, recordings are usually inadmissable if the person was not informed of a recording device at the time. And what’s more, they sit tight on their moral high horse. Despicable human beings

Do I take it you all think his client was guilty, and if so on precisely what evidence do you base your opinion?

Thought this particular Barrister is a politician himself! If my memory is right, he is the leader of MR( Republican Movement), and of I can rightly recollect, he was the one who was provoking incitations and public unlawful use of marijuana by trying to legalise it but which wasn’t approved before the National Assembly and which is still illegal to this date. And All this has been one of the major cause of an awful riot back in February 1999 in Mauritius.

Sorry, I forgot to add that on top of marijuana, Rama Valayden was also campaigning to legalise sodomy in Mauritius. So why then criticise politics when you are a politician yourself, and not a good one as such.

To all the “red thumbs”: as if you know this guy, Rama Valayden, former Attorney General. Do you know that in Mauritius an Attorney General is politically appointed and has to go through general elections first????? Ha

And apart from being appointed Attorney General, they are also the Minister for Justice and Human Rights. Fair play to the Mauritian system. It’s high time for things to be completely reviewed there. That’s why I have chosen Ireland as my home now and am very glad with the Irish people. Really, a great nation and warm people. As compared to what Mauritians living in Ireland was lying and saying about Irish people when the crime occurred, about how they were negatively treated etc… But am really happy here. Got very good Irish friends and well respected as well. RIP Michaela, you will always be remembered.

well this one is one of the lowest. “the government needs to act on this form of aggression” ????
what aggression?
one of them confessed, then retracted it under this lawyers instruction. the whole beating and torture story
is a farce. all of the doctors that examined them found NO evidence of police brutality or torture. not a scratch!
i believe one of them did it, i won’t say which one.

@ fotokrat: “As compared to what Mauritians living in Ireland was lying and saying about Irish people when the crime occurred, about how they were negatively treated etc” really? interesting

@Gobstock Yes, really. Many of them were commenting on Mauritian newspapers and some even talked on the local radio from here. All lies. Will try to get the link from those papers and radio comments and will do a translation as well.

Fotocrat, whats your problem with sodomy? Out of interest, what do people from Mauritius study in order for them to come to Ireland and work?
I know quite a few but they all work in cafes. How are Mauritians getting visas?

@ Tommy C: Thanks, that was actually going to be my next question for Fotocrat. Study visas are temporary, its when they expire we’re left with a lot of illegals on our hands. with that then theres a lot of cash in hand happening in these restaurants/cafes, no tax paid, not to mention leaving themselves open to be exploited. All holders of expired visas should be chased down and deported, its been done but not enough. i know some Venezuelans too here i’ve met that aren’t studying now so what exactly are they doing here?

Johnny, those I know studied random business courses but the courses are over and they are still here. Ive been told from one mate in particular that she went to immigration a few weeks ago and they just gave her, her husband and their daughter another 3 month visa. This is quite the norm apparently. Time to close our borders to those from outside the EU unless they have a skill from a skills list like they have in the US, Canada, NZ and Australia.

@Gibstock
@tommy
You guys are too right, but unfortunately what you are saying doesn’t apply to me because am not here on a student visa, but on a full work permit, and worse of all, am not working in a cafe or wherever. Anyway, hats off to those guys working in cafes or wherever, coz you guys are very reluctant to do the job of these so called guys that you’ve mentioned above. Sorry to have disappointed you mates. For me this kind of comments is just truly anti immigrant or even racist. They are not addicted to dole collection. How many Irish are there in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand without proper permit who are overstaying and cheating the system!!!!
I don’t know if the comments are racist or what, but am giving it benefit of doubt. Its just like The pot is calling the kettle black.

Fotocrat, the Irish didnt go to your country. They went to massive countries that needed workers and if any Irish are illegally in these countries then they should be deported immediately.
1 in 5 people in his country are not Irish. That is too big a proportion in my opinion.
Immigration needs to be tackled in this country. 70% of the population when polled agree that we have far too many migrants.
We do not need migrants from outside the EU. We should very easily be able to find people from Europe to do all the jobs we need done. I know quite a few people who would take these waiting jobs but migrants work for less. Tourists from the US are complaining that there are too many migrants in hotels and the service industry here. Tourist come here for the Irish experience, not multiculturalism.
If i go to mauritius, I want to meet the locals. I do not want to meet Germans, Argentinians, Poles etc. I want to meet people who are from that place.
Thejournal, we need a proper debate on immigration on this site.
Im not anti-immigrant, I am anti-mass immigration. Irish women are having fewer children yet migrant families are having larger families than the natives. This will be the death of irish culture. This isnt racist, this is a fact.

We were promised by the previous government that the number of migrants here would not exceed 10% of the population. Well now its over 20%. Time to stop importing people while exporting our own.

@ fotocrat: “hats off to those guys working in cafes or wherever, coz you guys are very reluctant to do the job of these so called guys that you’ve mentioned above. Sorry to have disappointed you mates”

That old hat crap is almost as old as the racist card you’re trying to pul herel. That statement is an insult to our people – you should tell your ‘Irish’ friends. As Tommy said right there, Time to close our borders to those from outside the EU unless they have a skill from a skills list like they have in the US, Canada, NZ and Australia. Are these countries racist too? Irish people go abroad to work not to cheat the system!!!

@tommy
How in hell did you come up with such irrelevant comments as immigration etc…when well the previous comments were about late Michaela’s trial. I think your anti- immigrant comments should be deleted by the moderator as they are just nonsense and purely irrelevant.

@Tommy, @Johnny. Your comments are offensive and I believe they are racist and not related to this news item in any way. Go to Boards.ie and have your rant if you like but a news item of this sensitive and tragic nature is no place for this.

It was hardly rushed!!! Trail was suppose to last 2 weeks ! When on for 6 !

Beat it out them… Woops :-)
Plus their supposed crime.
