Mother jailed for giving false alibi to protect murdering sons
THERE is no condemnation sufficient for the hideous excuse for a mother, Linda Doran, who was jailed last week.
As she was put behind bars for giving a false alibi to protect two of her murdering sons, it was revealed that a third is already doing time for a separate murder.
Connor Doran, 17, and brother Brandon, 14, were involved in beating a homeless man to death and their vile mother’s attempts to shield them from the consequences failed.
Last year, their elder brother Ryan, 23, was given 15 years for the murder of a stranger.
Another brother, Jordan, 21, has in the past been charged with manslaughter but the case was dropped. He was also jailed last week though, for trying to take pictures inside the court and went down for contempt.
The court heard Doran, 42, has never done a day’s work and lives off benefits. If school truant officers called when her children skipped lessons, she just laughed. No father’s name has been recorded on any of her children’s birth certificates.
There are many lone parents who do a fantastic job raising their children and after the Second World War a legion of children were left with just Mum to bring them up.
Yet there were never stories like this. Cosseted by benefits, indulged by the state and artfully indolent, a criminal sub-class is growing.
