‘Scarlett, the world is praying for you ’ - sister-in-law of Limerick mum fighting for her life

A SISTER-IN-LAW of Scarlett Faulkner, who remains in a critical condition this Thursday, said the “world is praying for you”.

Mother-of-one Scarlett, aged 29, from the northside of Limerick city, was viciously beaten by individuals armed with weapons at the side of the R494 road in Birdhill on Saturday evening. 

The vehicle she was travelling in was rammed off the road before she was dragged from the vehicle and attacked.

In an update on social media this Thursday, Josephine (Joanne) Duffy, the partner of Scarlett's brother Thomas, welcomed the news that gardai have arrested two individuals in connection with the brutal assault.

“Let justice be served, sister,” wrote Josephine on her Facebook page.

“Now you fight hard and get home to us, Scarlett. The world is praying for you sister. 

“You can do this, please Jesus, send my sister the much needed miracle,” continued Josephine.

Earlier this week, Scarlett’s sister-in-law wrote: "Everyone is praying, everyone is lighting candles and a 100 million, million per cent we appreciate every prayer, every candle that was lit. They appreciate that so much. They know that everyone is praying.

"All the messages everyone is sending, all the love, all the candles everyone is sending, don't think they're not noticing it. They're noticing it and they're very appreciative of it."
