The Murder of Mabel Hendron (68) by Francis Thomas Dowds (28) - July 22 1986, East Belfast For the elderly - a home should be a place of comfort and safety. The East Belfast community were therefore horrified when pensioner Mabel Hendron's body was found in Euston Street with her throat savagely cut. A trail of blood led to the loft that connected her home to the house next door. Unnerving evidence emerged of sinister visits to Mabel's home with pathology and forensic evidence eventually forcing her intruder to confess.

Their badly beaten bodies were found on Wed 15th May 2002 in undergrowth at Mound Road, Warrenpoint. An investigation was launched to identify the victims and find the motive behind the brutal double murder.

Russell McMahon was a quiet Bangor man who had worked all his life and was enjoying retirement. He had been for his usual few drinks and was making his way home through Castle Park, at about 11.15pm when he was set upon and viciously assaulted. He later died in hospital from severe injuries. Police relied on witness testimony to track down the drink and drug-addled juvenile who carried out the unnecessarily vicious attack. Despite initial denials forensic evidence linked him undisputedly to the crime.
An in-depth look at police investigations and the science, including forensics and pathology, that have helped solve some of Northern Ireland's most high-profile murder cases in recent years.
