Jordan Monaghan is a British Serial Killer who murdered his girlfriend, his 24-day old daughter, his 21-month old son and attempted to murder another child.[1][2][3]
Crimes and Court Proceedings
- On January 1, 2013, Monaghan smothered his 24-day old daughter at their Blackburn home.
- On August 17, 2013, Monaghan smothered his 21-month old son Logan while they were alone in a changing room cubicle at Waves Water Fun Centre in Blackburn.
- On October 24, 2019, Monaghan poisoned his 23-year old girlfriend Evie Adams.
A post-mortem examination concluded Ruby died from acute bronchopneumonia and Logan's cause of death remained "unascertained" as neither child's death could be explained by illness, genetic defect or natural causes, and Monaghan was arrested for the murders in January 2018 after police reviewed their deaths when further information came to light.[4][2]
While on Bail for the children's murders, Monaghan poisoned Evie Adams with a deadly cocktail of prescription drugs, including tramadol and diazepam, which he had purchased unlawfully on the black market after she threatened to end their relationship.[5]
In December 2021, Monaghan was found guilty of all three murders as well as two counts of attempted murder to a third child who was not identified for legal reasons and he was sentenced to life imprisonment with 40 years before he can apply for parole.[6][7]
