Irene hubby: I'm no mastermind

White denies any part in wife’s death as gardai wait on DPP

- PAUL HEALY

THE husband of murdered woman Irene White has said he is “shocked” gardai are to send a file to the DPP over her death.

Gardai are awaiting a decision from the DPP over whether to charge Ms White’s husband Alan in connection with her murder in her home in Dundalk on April 6, 2005.

But speaking exclusively to the Irish Mirror from his home, Alan White – who has previously been arrested over his wife’s death – strongly denied that he was in any way linked to her brutal murder.

He added: “Well it’s quite a shock. Everything has been so quiet for a while. This is so out of the blue.”

Speaking about his previous arrest Mr White insisted that “nothing” came out of his interview with gardai.

He said: “I think the term is helping with enquiries or something like that.

“Yeah I was interviewed before but nothing came of that and I haven’t heard anything since.”

Two men, Anthony Lambe and Niall Power, are serving life for Irene’s murder but a so-called “mastermind” was suspected of ordering the pair to have the young mother killed.
