On the morning of 7 March 1997, the bodies of two elderly female psychiatric patients were discovered in their sheltered accommodation in Dublin. Both had suffered horrific injuries. Pressure on the Gardai to solve the crime grew, fuelled by a report from behavioural analysts who suggested that the perpetrator would re-offend. On 26 July, one of the suspects, Dean Lyons, a heroin addict, had, during the course of routine interview, made a number of admissions to the murders. This book tells the story of the investigation.
