Scissor Sister makes bid for Christmas prison break as notorious killer requests week with family

Scissor Sister Charlotte Mulhall is hoping to get out of prison for a week over Christmas.

The notorious killer wants to spend the festive season with family in Dublin and has requested temporary release from Limerick Prison.

The 37-year-old, serving life for the murder of Farah Swaleh Noor in 2005, requested overnight stays which she is expected to be granted.

Sources say Mulhall is moving closer to full freedom from prison after 15 years behind bars for stabbing and dismembering her mother Kathleen’s boyfriend.

She already gets day release to have supervised visits with loved ones and has proven she can follow the rules,

A source told Irish Sunday Mirror: “Mulhall has requested a full week of overnight temporary release. Mulhall is already getting days out to visit family in Dublin. She has been keeping herself out of trouble and the TR [temporary release] allows her to readjust to life outside of prison.”

Her sister Linda, 44, was freed from prison in January 2018 after serving 13 years for manslaughter.

Earlier this year their mother returned to Ireland to visit Charlotte in prison for the first time in years.

Charlotte, who stabbed Noor up to 20 times with a kitchen knife, was convicted of murder.

The brutal killing, which shocked the nation, happened at her mother’s flat in Dublin. Kathleen was jailed in 2009 for impeding the investigation.

Charlotte was moved from the Dochas Centre at Moutjoy jail in Dublin to Limerick Prison on Christmas Eve 2018.

It happened two days after she was allegedly seen in a compromising
position with a prison officer.

She disputes that accusation and said she has never been given the opportunity to put her side of the story.

If she walks free next year she will have served 17 years for the notorious killing of Noor, whose severed penis and head have never been recovered.
