On the night of September 18th 1988 Anne Gillepsie and her mother Annie were shot dead in the car park of Sligo General Hospital by John Gallagher, Anne's estranged boyfriend of three and a half years.
In this documentary, Anne's uncle, Patrick McGuire, who witnessed the whole event, indeed narrowly escaping death himself, describes John Gallagher as executing his work on the night like shooting rats.
John Gallagher was found guilty but insane by a jury in the Central Criminal Court on the 19th July 1989.
