When?

On a balmy Saturday afternoon, in September 1938, just after lunch, the calm of the old world house, Dunmore, was shattered with the sound of gunshots.

In the space of less than an hour, there were three unwitnessed killings and later that day, a hastily convened inquest was held in the house itself. Yet, while the shootings made the headlines, preoccupation with the threatening war, meant that people's interest soon melted away. As a result, information about the affair was either destroyed or relegated to dusty files in various parts of the country, for decades thereafter.
