DARK SECRETS: Psycho axe killer oliver doran emotionless after he was caught by gardai | Vintage Vibes

Axe killer Oliver Doran confided in someone he knows that he had butchered an elderly man just hours after carrying out the barbaric act.

Psycho Doran, who was last week sentenced to life over the April 2021 killing of Kwok Ping Cheng, remained completely deadpan and emotionless after gardai captured him. Officers also do not believe a motive will ever be uncovered for the murder, leaving Mr Cheng’s family without any answers as to why the 76-year-old was targeted.

Mr Cheng was known affectionately as “Chinese George” by his neighbours where he lived in sheltered accommodation at Robinson’s Court in Dublin 8. In a random attack, thug Doran climbed in through the victim’s rear window – which was left open – and proceeded to hack him to death.
