You was right on this matter Wilson no involvement.
SPANISH cops have now ruled out the involvement of hitman Eric ‘Lucky’ Wilson in the disappearance of Amy Fitzpatrick.
Dublin teenager Amy was just 15 years old when she vanished from the family’s Spanish home in Calahona on the Costa del Sol on New Year’s Day 2008.
In an email sent to Amy’s mother Audrey, the embassy of Ireland in Madrid confirmed that Wilson is not regarded as a suspect in the case.
“The police confirmed to the Embassy that they had received the information reported…to the Irish police via Interpol,” an embassy official wrote.
“Their investigations did not uncover any evidence that Eric Wilson was in the area where Amy went missing at the time of her disappearance.
“Furthermore, they confirmed that a property leased by Mr Wilson in Coin was thoroughly searched in 2009 in connection with the investigation of another crime.”
Wilson (30) from Ballyfermot, Dublin, is serving a 23-year sentence in a Spanish prison for the brutal 2011 killing of British man Dan Smith.
Argument
Wilson shot him eight times at close range following a drunken argument over a girl in June 2010.
The girl in question was a friend of the missing teenager and the victim was also known to her, Audrey later revealed.
In the wake of Wilson’s conviction, Amy’s mum and partner Dave Mahon told Irish police that they had been contacted by an anonymous tipster who claimed Wilson boasted of killing Amy.
However, Spanish police have found nothing to link the gangster to the crime.
Meanwhile, Audrey’s partner Dave Mahon is still awaiting word from the DPP as to whether he is to be charged over the death of Amy’s brother Dean.
The 23-year-old father-of-one, from Clarehall in Dublin, was fatally injured when he was stabbed during an altercation at the Burnell Square apartments, Northern Cross, on the Malahide Road, on May 25 last year.
He was taken to Beaumont Hospital where he was soon pronounced dead.
Gardai subsequently arrested Mahon and he was later released without charge.
Updating the coroner on the investigation in January, Detective Inspector Tony Howard said a file was given to the DPP last November.
He added that the Gardai were “pretty hopeful” that they will receive directions back “in the very near future”.
Loss
Yesterday, Dean’s dad touchingly reached out to him on his 24th birthday.
Christopher Fitzpatrick (48) revealed his “heart is broken” at the loss and that Amy is also thinking of him “no matter where in the world she is”.
Christopher wrote online: “Remembering my son Dean who should be celebrating his birthday with us and not in Heaven.
“You will always be missed by your dad. My heart is broken for you son.”
He added on his Missing Amy Facebook page: “Love dad and your little brother Alex and your little sister Amy will be thinking of you today, no matter where in the world she is. x.”
Christopher also posted a touching ‘memory card’ of Dean showing a bicycle, because he loved to cycle and a set of weights as he liked to work out in the gym.
Dean had a two-year-old son Leon.
The message said: “Happy Birthday in Heaven, I wish you were here even for just a little while so I could just say Happy Birthday and see your smile.”
