The father of murdered girl Ciara Glennon has held an emotional press conference the day after a guilty verdict was handed down to Bradley Robert Edwards for two of the Claremont killings.
Justice Stephen Hall on Thursday found Mr Edwards guilty of the murders of Ms Glennon and Jane Rimmer, but was acquitted of the murder of Sarah Spiers. Dennis Glennon repeated words his wife wrote about the murder of their daughter. “Days that are meant to be days of celebration are now days tinged with sadness, there is always somebody missing … an empty chair, our silence speaks louder than our words, we miss her acutely,” Uma Glennon wrote in her book “Ciara’s Gift”.
He relayed the pain his family suffered from sensationalist reporting over the course of two decades of investigations and the trial or Mr Edwards. “This kind of reporting, I can assure you, inflicted needless additional suffering on my family, thje stomach churning, sinking feeling such reports delivered is beyond words," Mr Glennon said.
