Thomas Cashman's Family

Godzillaisjusthangry · 01/04/2023 08:32

The daily fail have really gone after Thomas Cashman's partner in the paper today, painting her as a gangsters moll.

Do you think she really knew what he was up to? What's the feeling in Liverpool towards her?

AIBU to feel sorry for his kids and wonder what kind of life they will have now? his son and daughter are also victims in this horrible tragedy now. It's so sad.

That might be the only coat she has ffs.

Wise up. Can afford the over inflated lips and cosmetics and the wag lifestyle but only one coat? She is scum as much as he is and should have her kids removed and adopted out to try and give them some chance at a normal life and becoming worthwhile human beings. Not fot to be a parent whether she has one coat or twenty coats

ThePoshUns · 01/04/2023 12:43

I have no sympathy for her whatsoever, she can't not have known what he was up to.
Fair play to the 'other woman' who have evidence against him. Very brave indeed, she will sadly spend the rest of her life looking over her shoulder. I wish her all the very best.

cheap, disposable

Thanks, Reese. That makes sense.

Yy.
Posters are saying they knew about other violent crimes he'd been linked to ... yet don't seem to consider that violence wouldn't have been limited to outsiders. Violent men are violent men at home too.

But, they'll ignore that to argue it falls to the partners - not the posters on here who seem to know all about him ; not the other men in the gang ; not the police (who should know as much as MN posters fgs).
Here's a man being arrested for murder - let's look for the woman to blame. Hmm

No one is blaming the woman for him shooting a defenceless young child who was completely innocent in all of this. They are however pointing out that if you've been with someone from school, they don't have regular employment but are bringing home £5k a week (and not squirrelling it away but rent a huge expensive house, buying you designer clothes etc) and have had reports against them for committing violent crimes then of course she knew he was a drug dealer.

Sure she could have been scared to leave, but the fact she showed up to court in a pink coat, the same colour as the little girls family had been using to remember her, and is apparently supportive despite knowing he did this then that's abhorrent.

Fair play to his mistress for risking her life (which sadly is what she has done) to put him behind bars and bring a slither of justice for her family. Whether it was revenge or not is irrelevant in my opinion.

Full respect to the woman who testified against him. She really stood up to his QC

she was requested to calm down and her corker was he had a small willy....

The QC said it was revenge and she said Ive ruined my life for this (in protected custody I guess)

Of course she was “calm down dear” but she owned him and he got a bit flustered a various points.

Yes, her life is ruined, she will spend the rest of it in a new identity isolated from old friends and family, and they will spend their lives looking over their shoulders too. But as she said “There’s no such thing as a grass when it involves a 9 year old girl”.

Whowhatwherewhenwhy1 · 01/04/2023 12:50

Its the fact that she has young children and is still supporting this vile piece of crap child murderer that says most about her character. He will get his come uppance in prison. As child murderers are treated very differently to drug dealers. He may well be kept in isolation. She deserves to lose her kids. At least they will still be alive and have a chance in life. He is no example of a decent human being any nore than he is.

If I had all her money I’d get better fillers and Botox than that. She looks like a wax work. Not a good look.

They dont want to look subtle. Thats not the look they're going for. They want you to know they can afford to get it done.

I hope they take the house away from them, proceeds of crime and all that - apparently their house is worth half a million.

Pair of divs didn't even buy the house. They rented it.

Mind you, maybe it was a smart move in that it can't be taken from them now and they will have bought other materialistic crap that they can sell for cash, under the radar.

You'd think they'd have been able to buy a house in some way that's not traced back to them though.

kayleeanne sweeny had a cosmetics business which was closed just before Cashmans arrest, ,are of that what you will - but lips and fillers work well as a laundry

If course she knew. I hope the cop come after all their assets as PoC. Who wears a pink coat to a trail like that as well?

She reeeeeeeeeeally didn't help herself with that one.

PhilNW · 01/04/2023 13:04

Oh dear how sad never mind.

Bet there is a load of cash stashed somewhere for her to live on. Maybe the police are investigating , hope so

That might be the only coat she has ffs.

I would be surprised if someone could afford a £350 coat, it would be the only one she owns.

BMW6 · 01/04/2023 13:08

I wouldn't piss on her if she was on fire frankly.

WeAreTheHeroes · 01/04/2023 13:10

I'd be surprised if she doesn't end up changing her identity and moving away from Liverpool.

The money will be somewhere if not invested in a house, etc. If he was really making as much as he said and not giving a big cut of it to some higher ups in his criminal network then it'll be somewhere.

Gilmorehill · 01/04/2023 13:11

Well done to the woman who went to the police. She has sacrificed a lot to do the right thing. I read about the questions she faced from the defence as they attempted to discredit her and how she stood up to them. She seems like a strong person.

PiccaZ · 01/04/2023 13:14

This is a woman who turned up to court to support her partner - whilst his MISTRESS testified against him and he admitted having another fair with one of his partners best mates.

The pink coat just tops the whole thing off

Just another silly woman with zero self esteem who’d happily support a child murderer who isn’t even loyal to her in exchange for lips, Botox and a pink coat. Vile woman

Meandfour · 01/04/2023 13:14

I wish this thread wasn’t up. She is absolutely LOVING all the attention on her. The coat did exactly as she intended- got people talking about her.

Endlesssummer2022 · 01/04/2023 13:16

Of course the moneys stashed in a safe house. When they realised the net was closing in, she closed her business etc which points to them tying up lose ends and sorting things out.

The money is probably being held by his associates to keep her looked after. This time next year she will still be full of face filler, bleached hair and photographed on insta in Dubai. She’ll not be short of cash.

Thats a massive assumption and is part of the myth narrative that women are always the victims. She is part of the network of the perpetration of crime and violent crime.

Cashman is linked a large number of properties across the North West apparently.

Theluggage15 · 01/04/2023 13:21

There’s joint enterprise for some murders even if you didn’t commit the actual act. Shame she can’t be done for that, she’s just as involved. Probably be better if the children were take into care with a mother like that.
