Father of Ciara Glennon delivers emotional speech

The father of murdered girl Ciara Glennon has held an emotional press conference the day after a guilty verdict was handed down to Bradley Robert Edwards for two of the Claremont killings. Justice Stephen Hall on Thursday found Mr Edwards guilty of the murders of Ms Glennon and Jane Rimmer, but was acquitted of the murder of Sarah Spiers. Dennis Glennon repeated words his wife wrote about the murder of their daughter. “Days that are meant to be days of celebration are now days tinged with sadness, there is always somebody missing … an empty chair, our silence speaks louder than our words, we miss her acutely,” Uma Glennon wrote in her book “Ciara’s Gift”. “Those words were written in 2012 and they resonant today with imperishable clarity and meaning still,” Mr Glennon told the media. “Ciara was strong in spirit, had courage, great courage, but yet as she fought to save her life she could not save herself because of the brutal assault of her murderer". He relayed the pain his family suffered from sensationalist reporting over the course of two decades of investigations and the trial or Mr Edwards. “This kind of reporting, I can assure you, inflicted needless additional suffering on my family, thje stomach churning, sinking feeling such reports delivered is beyond words," Mr Glennon said. “And I thought then that suspicion and scepticism do not have to be the prime currency of dealings between the media personnel and the people seeking truth and justice. “Thank God we live in a civil society, but in a civil society, our society, we believe journalistic standards and editorial stewardship that tap the deeper well-springs of what I've called the long-established principles of impartiality and empathy are indisputably superior alternatives.”
