On the 19th of March 1996, gardaí were called to a pub in Co Wicklow after its panic button was activated in the small hours of the morning. Catherine Nevin, who owned the pub with her husband Tom, was found slumped in a hall with her hands tied and a gag around her neck.

What initially looked to be a botched burglary at a time when Wicklow businesses were being targeted by Dublin gangs, soon grew into a massive garda investigation with more than 170 witness statements as they delved deep into Catherine's past.

In this episode of Lines of Enquiry, John Sweetman takes us back to the murder of Tom Nevin and a story of greed, lies and lust that led to one of the country's most infamous trials.
