Mamma försvarar sin son i fallet om mordkomplotten mot au pair

Deirdre Fisher, mamma till mordoffret Joe Ryan, uttalar sig nu för att återupprätta sin sons rykte efter att åklagare beskrivit hur han lockades in i en dödlig plan. Hennes kommentarer framkommer i ett nytt A&E-avsnitt om morden på Ryan och Christine Banfield.

Fisher säger att hennes son trodde starkt på samtycke och aldrig skulle skada någon, trots meddelanden som hittades på en fetischhemsida och som åklagare kopplade till komplotten. "Joe handlade om samtycke och jag visste att han sysslade med rollspel. Han var en god människa", säger hon.

Fallet inleddes den 24 februari 2023 när Brendan Banfield ringde 112 från sitt hem i Virginia och hävdade att han hade skjutit en inkräktare som attackerade hans fru. Både Christine Banfield och Ryan dog, medan au pairen Juliana Peres Magalhaes initialt sa till polisen att en främling låg bakom dådet.

Utredare fastställde senare att Banfield och Magalhaes hade en affär och använde en falsk profil på nätet för att locka Ryan till huset. Banfield dömdes till livstids fängelse, medan Magalhaes erkände vållande till annans död.

Fisher kommenterade även Banfields straff och sa att hans arv kommer att bli fängelset. Avsnittet med intervjun, med titeln "Sex, Lies and Murder", sänds på torsdag kl. 22.00 på A&E.
