An Irish court has convicted a heterosexual couple, Joel Osei, 25, and Diana Cristea, 18, of the murder of Adrian Murphy. The couple met Murphy on Grindr and proceeded to drug and rob him using a strange substance known as “Devil’s Breath.”
The Mirror reports that police arrested Osei & Cristea in June 2019, following the discovery of Murphy’s body in a London flat. The pair had tried to steal Murphy’s identity to procure $80,000 worth of diamonds. They did not succeed.
Law enforcement had investigated the drug overdose of another man the couple allegedly met on Grindr just days before in the same location. His name has not been made public to protect his identity.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
A jury convicted Osei & Cristea of administering a poison or noxious substance so as to endanger life, two counts of theft and eight counts of fraud. They will face sentencing December 14.
Following the verdict, Murphy’s brother Robert made a statement to the press.
“The world is full of sameness, but this could not be said of our brother Adrian,” Robert said.”Adrian brought the love and art of dance to thousands of young people all over the world. He made so many loyal friends who are so sad at his untimely passing as he was an inspirational Irishman, who was a gifted dancer and choreographer. He was also very funny and made everyone laugh at his hilarious stories. He had the gift of bringing people together. Our family is heartbroken that Adrian is no longer with us.”

Yep. The lights are barely on and nobody’s home…except an entity you really don’t want answering the door.

Yes, exactly! Honor him by printing a story about his life with photo(s) and if you must add the mug shots of the criminals use thumbnail images. This seems to be happening quite often.

The Gruesome Twosome were tried in an English court (Croydon) since the crime occurred there.

One more thing, the minute I saw these slugs at my door, if I’d opened it i ‘d have slammed it in their faces. This might sound rude but you owe these strangers ZILCH. and by doing do you would have saved yourself a lot of trouble and maybe your life.

Alas, it’s the same lesson over and over: Stop hooking up with strangers for sex and forsake the licentious lifestyle. Focus more on spiritual matters and banish the tormenting and unfulfilling carnal desire.

Lol are you serious? Sounds like a serial killer in the making, getting ready to enforce your “righteous” lifestyle. ::eyeroll::

What a shock, a Republican extolling the virtues of Religion, which has been used as an excuse to attack LGBTQ people, AND tries to push people not to have sex.
Hmmmmm, that sounds a LOT like the whole….”You can be gay and we’ll accept you as long as you stay celibate” attitude of the Mormon church.
Troll exposed!
@dusyk
They should die a very slow and painful death ?

Any blame the victim mentality here basically is the reasoning the murderers used. Whatever he had in life he wasn’t using properly. We see this thinking everywhere and yet in the west we complain about the lack of freedom in China 🙂

Oh wait, one of the killers is black. Won’t the BLM hordes want his immediate release and compensation for his abuse at being labelled a murderer and thief?
Hang both of them, in public. It’s no less than either deserves.

Not cool! Your racism is showing, Trump lover. No sane person Black, White, Latino, Asian or Middle easterner would not believe both these people should not get the same punishment. Death. Go Prax yourself.
Cam
Interesting because a ton of signs at BLM marches are all pro-LGBTQ. But your racism sure is showing!

@Kevan Oh Puhlease…Everyone here Knows I’m a full on Racist that hates Trump. I’d love to see Trump strung up right next to darkie there.

Queerty, you aren’t going to do something about this?
