In the middle of the night, on March 6th 1997, an intruder broke into number 1 Orchard View, Grangegorman and brutally killed two women in their sixties. This attack terrified the nation, the murders seemed totally random and the victims were former patients of the nearby St Brendan's Psychiatric Hospital and lived together as part of an assisted living program. Who could do such a thing to such defenceless and vulnerable people?

What would follow in the months to come, would be a story straight out of a “Who done it” movie – a story of false confessions, surviving witnesses and perplexed law enforcement, under pressure to find the killer.
