Bobby Ryans' daughter says Pat Quirke didn't act alone in murder of her dad but claims Polish man wasn't involved

Bobby Ryan's heartbroken daughter claims Patrick Quirke did not act alone in murdering her dad, but does not believe rumours that link a Polish man to the killing.

On May 1, scheming Quirke was found guilty of murdering the popular DJ after the longest murder trial in the history of the State.

Long-standing theories suggest that evil Quirke did not act alone when he killed his love rival, before placing his body into a slurry tank.

Devastated Michelle Ryan claims that because her fathers body was neatly positioned inside the pit, rather than thrown in, she believes that more than one person was involved.

Reports have liked a Polish man who later took his own life, with assisting Quirke in the evil plot.

Garda sources involved in the investigation into the murder of the Tipperary man say that they wanted to interview the Polish man, but he took his own life before they got the chance.

Speaking to the Irish Daily Star, Michelle Ryan said: "There was rumours that there was this Polish guy and he did take his life but to be honest I don't actually think that was the case.

"Even when daddy was missing before the body was found, these rumours surfaced.

"At the end of the day the man isn't here to defend himself.

"I never believed that Patrick Quirke committed it on his own, especially when it came to light that the body was placed in the tank rather than thrown in.

"My father was small but he was stocky... from that revelation in the court that he was placed rather than thrown, that kind of definity 100 per cent crossed my mind that Patrick Quirke didn't act alone."

She added: "Justice is only 50 per cent done for my father, as far as I'm concerned.

"I am not going to let it go."
