True Crime Ireland is a series of books devoted to the most disturbing cases in the country. This book focuses on ten of the most chilling crimes in recent Irish history.
Ireland is well known for being the land of “saints and scholars”, and it isn’t called the Emerald Isle for no reason; it’s packed with greenery and picturesque landscapes. From the outside, Ireland may look like a perfect place to call home. But like any other country, it is not immune to some truly horrific crimes or heinous killers.
The cases included in this
Chapter 1: The Monster in the Garage
Three young children came face-to-face with a ‘monster’ in the garage of the home. Their fear turns to terror when they realise who and what it is.
Chapter 2: Doctor Death
All murders are tragic, but there is something particularly troubling about the murder of a mother by a son. The murder becomes stranger still when one learns that the killer is a qualified medical doctor, a profession devoted to the care of others and the protection of life.
Chapter 3: A Killing at Christmas
Little did Marilynn Rynn know the danger that awaited her when she walked home from her work Christmas party. To catch the culprit, in a first for Ireland, mass DNA testing would be required.
Chapter 4: From Russia, With Love
Also known in Ireland as ‘the body in the suitcase’ murder. Children playing on the banks of Dublin's Royal Canal discovered a suitcase floating in the water. Little did they know the Pandora's Box of crime, intrigue and deception they were about to open.
Chapter 5: The Cross-dressing Bondage Killer
A brutal and depraved murderer would claim the lives of two women and blame it on a BDSM game gone wrong. His method of disposal of the bodies is also shocking.
Chapter 6: The Soldier Who ‘Snapped’
A soldier who killed off the battlefield. Find out what made this soldier snap when back home in Ireland. Was it PTSD? Or simply sexually motivated?
Chapter 7: Love’s Young Nightmare
Read how one young man’s love for a girl turned into a deadly obsession. How many people would Shane Clancy destroy to reclaim the love of his life?
Chapter 8: Loveless
A deadly love triangle. How far will one woman go to get out of her loveless marriage?
Chapter 9: Ireland’s First Serial Killers
In the summer of 1976, two ex-convicts stalked the roads of Ireland in their car looking for young women to abduct, rape and murder. Their heinous crimes, coming as they did in an Ireland altogether more innocent than today, shocked the nation and introduced us to a new phenomenon; that of the serial killer.
Chapter 10: The Killer Next Door
Elderly Tilly Campbell should have been able to live out the rest of her days in her home peacefully. But little did she know, a killer lived next door.
