Mickey grew up in the United Kingdom with his sisters Adele and Margaret. Mickey’s family is originally from Ireland and moved to Blackpool England two years before he was born. Parents Skip and Bo-Anne set up their new home here running a small butcher’s shop. When Mickey was born life changed for Skip and Bo and they struggled for money with the business not being as successful as they had hoped. To make the business work they turned to crime and linked up with some of the country’s most notorious drug and weapon dealers as they quickly established one of the country’s biggest underground smuggling operations in the country.
Skip would take care of the business and Bo-Anne would operate the butchers whilst raising the family. By this time Skip and Bo would welcome Adele and Margaret, Mickey’s two younger sisters to the family. As time moved on and as Mickey got older, he would gain more responsibilities looking after his sisters and helping with the shop front.
Mickey would spend his days at the local high school and then come home and work in the shop before taking his sister’s home to make dinner and ensure the house was ready in case Skip would bring any business home.
In 2004 Mickey completed his year 12 education and by this time was involved in the underground operations that Skip was running.
This brought great risk and at Christmas time in 2004 the dirty dealings caught up with the Murphy family and Skip with his wife Bo-Anne packed up and went into hiding after a deal with kingpin Kerry Shields went south. Mickey’s sisters Adele and Margaret went with Skip and Bo-Anne, but Mickey wanted more for himself and set about moving to Australia to start anew.
