The small town of Ballygar was shocked when 73 year old bachelor farmer William Mannion was found stabbed to death on his kitchen floor. A local youth was responsible. He was brought to trial, found guilty and received the mandatory life sentence.
How was it then, that 17 years later, the same man would be able to kill another elderly resident of Ballygar, Nancy Nolan (84) in a senseless and motiveless crime? This week, we look at the murders committed by Thomas Murray in East Galway and how life sentences in Ireland don't really mean life.

In February 2011, police on patrol in Blackheath, London, spot a burning car half-hidden up a quiet lane. When the fire is put out and they’re able to investigate, they discover the burned body of a young man in the boot. With no way to identify him from the charred remains, they set about tracing the vehicle registration and find it belongs to a young man called Gagandip Singh. Gagandip told his family he went to a party the night before, but he didn’t come home and hasn’t been seen since. Is the body in the car the missing Gagandip? Or has he committed a terrible crime and fled the scene? DCI Damian Allain knows that the next 24 hours will be crucial to finding the killer. What they uncover is a chilling tale of a love triangle, a honey-trap, and a plot for revenge taken too far. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
