Murderer Graham Dwyer’s behind-bars relationship with a community worker is over, we can reveal.
Charmaine Davidson, who Dwyer had listed on a prison visitor log as his girlfriend, stopped visiting the depraved killer in mid-2020. And the Sligo native had no video calls with him during the pandemic.
The visits and calls ceased despite Ms Davidson previously keeping in regular contact with Dwyer for more than four years. Sources said Ms Davidson, who denied to this paper that she was Dwyer’s girlfriend in April of that year, appears to have cut off all contact with the infamous killer.

Prior to the ending of the pair’s relationship, Dwyer had Ms Davidson officially listed as his girlfriend and she loyally visited him. As an inmate in the Midlands, Dwyer is the one who defines the relationship he has with each of his visitors, be it a partner, girlfriend, brother, father, mother or friend.
However, after the publication of our story, in which we approached Ms Davidson and asked her if she was Dwyer’s girlfriend, she never visited again. At the time Ms Davidson walked away from the reporter and simply said the word “no” when asked if she was in a romantic relationship with Dwyer.
Sources said Dwyer no longer has anyone listed as his girlfriend or partner on his visitor list and the only people who now regularly visit him are his immediate family. He had been in a behind-bars relationship with another woman – Russian native Victoria Andreenkova – who openly declared her love for the murderer.
Andreenkova made headlines when she said she “did not see him as a convicted killer”. The revelation comes after Dwyer lost his appeal of his conviction for the 2012 murder of childcare worker Elaine O’Hara last week.
But sources said the arrogant killer has not given up hope of getting out. He has even told fellow lags that he intends to take his case all the way to the European courts.
An insider said: “His next step is the Supreme Court, but he’s already bragging to anyone that will listen that he will get off if he takes this to Europe.” The State successfully argued in the 2015 trial that Dwyer and Ms O’Hara used recovered phones to text each other in the run-up to the murder.

The sicko challenged the use of such data after the EU and Irish courts ruled that the blanket retaining of the information for all phone users – including Dwyer – went against European law. But the court rejected that argument on Friday.
Court of Appeal president Mr Justice George Birmingham said: “In this case we are quite satisfied that the admission of the very limited call data evidence that was admitted could not conceivably be regarded as giving rise to a miscarriage of justice.” He said even if the evidence should not have been admitted at his trial, it was of little significance given the prosecution was able to establish through other evidence that the phones, which contained evidence of his plan to murder Ms O’Hara, belonged to Dwyer.
That phone data included messages from Dwyer to Ms O’Hara on several phones in which he spoke of his desire to commit rape and murder. In one text, he told Elaine: “I’m a sadist. I enjoy others’ pain. You should help me inflict pain on you and help me with my fantasies.”
He lured Elaine to Shanganagh Cemetery in South Co Dublin and then brought her to Killakee Wood in the Dublin Mountains. There,
he stabbed her to death before watching her die, gardai believe. Phone evidence ultimately saw Dwyer nailed, with the disturbing messages proving he was the last person to see her alive and that he lured her into the woods.
