[9781908023339]

New Updated Edition. On March 20, 2005, Charlotte Mulhall slashed a four-inch gash in Farah Swaleh Noors throat. She cut her mother's lover again and again with the razor-sharp blade, while her sister Linda hit him about 10 times with the hammer. They then spent hours hacking his body into eight pieces, before dumping his butchered remains in the Royal Canal, Dublin. Christened the Scissor Sisters by the media, their names are now synonymous with violence and brutality but what really happened that night? What part did Kathleen, their mam , play and where is she now? Did John, their tragic father, help to dismember Farah s remains? And what about the victim, why did Farah carry knives and like to burn himself? Using witness statements and the Mulhalls own words, McCaffrey reconstructs the horrific murder in graphic detail, investigating the motives of all the people involved. He gets inside the minds of the women who carried out this unspeakable crime and depicts the intensive Garda hunt that led to the conviction of two of the most notorious killers in Ireland s history. The Irish Scissor Sisters examines the appalling crime that sent shockwaves through Irish society.
