EP62: Scissor Sisters (Part 1)

The notorious "Scissor Sisters" case ranks among the most brutal and shocking in Irish history, leaving a dark mark on the true crime genre. Linda and Charlotte Mulhall, despite a troubled existence marred by alcohol and drug addiction and a history of abuse, had never shown signs of extreme violence or serious legal troubles. That changed dramatically when they gruesomely stabbed, bludgeoned, and cut the throat of their mother's boyfriend, dismembered his body in a bathroom, and discarded the remains in Dublin's Royal Canal. Adding to the horror, they retained his head with the intention of burying it separately, turning a savage murder into a macabre tale of calculated cruelty. In Part 1 of our two-part coverage of this outrageous case, we detail exactly what happened, how it happened, and cover some fascinating facts surrounding "homicidal mutilation." TRIGGER WARNING: This episode is graphic in nature and discusses topics of sexual assault and self-harm. Please listen with caution.
