TV review: Dr Cassidy’s Casebook provides insight to killings of women 

The series presented by former state pathologist Dr Marie Cassidy points out that the vast majority of female murder victims are killed by people known to them 

Marie Cassidy presents Dr Cassidys Casebook on RTÉ One. 

Dr Marie Cassidy expected Professor John Harbison to be waiting for her in Dublin Airport. She’d arrived from Glasgow to start work in the State Pathologist’s office and was expecting a leisurely look around Harbison’s department on that 1997 March afternoon.

Instead she was called over the PA system to where two Gardaí waited to bring her to a crime scene. A double murder: two women, Sylvia Sheils and Mary Callinan – the Grangegorman murders.
