Police investigating attack on Conor McGregor accuser's Dublin home
A Spanish court investigated allegations that Conor McGregor assaulted a lady during a party on his yacht on July 17, 2022. The accuser allegedly stated that McGregor kicked and assaulted her and then threatened to drown her, all of which he fiercely denies.
It has come to light that the Republic of Ireland's state police department, the Gardai, are probing another attack at the home of the accuser who leveled assault allegations against UFC star Conor McGregor. The Irish Mirror reported that police were looking into a break-in at a property in south Dublin when a brick was thrown through a window.
The Drimnagh incident follows an earlier attempt to torch the woman's vehicle at the same location on January 19. Neither incident has been linked to the woman's claim that McGregor assaulted her aboard his yacht near the Balearic Islands in July last year.
A Garda spokesperson issued a statement in the wake of the ongoing investigation:
"Gardaí are investigating an incident of criminal damage that occurred at a residential premises in Drimnagh, Dublin 12 at approximately 5:20am on Wednesday 15th February 2023. No injuries were reported during the course of this incident. No arrests have been made at this stage. Investigations are ongoing."
According to Samantha Murphy, Conor McGregor allegedly assaulted her while they were celebrating his birthday on his yacht last year. Murphy claimed that the professional fighter kicked her in the stomach and hit her in the chin. She claimed that she was forced to leap overboard and was eventually rescued by a Red Cross vessel.
