Girl, 9, calls on father's killer to hand themselves into the Gardaí

By David Raleigh

The daughter of an innocent teenager beaten to death with an axe has called on her father's killer to give themselves up to Gardaí.

Eight years ago, Jeffrey Hannan, 19, was set up in an unprovoked attack after he attended a house party and a bonfire near his home in O'Malley Park, Limerick.

Speaking on Sunday, on the anniversary of the murder, the victim's nine-year old daughter Nikita - with the permission of her family - said she needs "justice".

Addressing her father's killer, courageous Nikita, said: "Step forward and tell (gardaí) what you have done."

"I want justice for my daddy," she added.

Brave Nikita, who celebrated her First Holy Communion last May, said: "I didn't want to make my communion without my dad."
