On September 20, 2018, at 21:08 GMT, Kerry-Ann Bishop was brutally murdered in cold blood. Aoife O'Neill stabbed her to death after figuring out she murdered her daughter Karen.

Every year since this day the people of Carrigstown observe a minute's silence in memory of Kerry-Ann. On the same date in 2019, Bob Charles closed The Hungry Pig for 40 minutes in honour of Kerry-Ann.

Bob Charles has always described the murder of Kerry-Ann as the darkest day he can remember on Carrigstown and many believe it's one of the main motivations for the Carrigstown Agenda. Bob ensured that Aoife O'Neill was swiftly arrested and quickly moved to bury any allegations that Kerry-Ann was unfaithful to Decco Bishop. Bob was furious over remarks made by Tommy Dillon at her funeral and ensured Hughie Phelan got drunk to divert the attention.

The Investigation[edit | edit source]

At the earliest stage of the investigation, prime suspect Wayne Molloy, who handed himself in, was dismissed on the grounds that he "didn't have it in him".

Local officer John Deegan confirmed in a press conference in 2020 that the investigation had been stood down for over a year at that point and there were no new leads. He insisted that whoever did it would obviously be really sorry and would probably not do something like this again. He was subsequently slapped in the face by cool detective Steve Yates who then took control of the interview and highlighted that the case had been referred to GSOC and would be reviewed some time in 2022.

Aoife O'Neill was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the murder. Bob Charles wants this story buried.
