Elaine O’Hara had a deep and disturbing interest in the world of submissive relationships, but her real-life interactions were sporadic and seldom lasted long, reports Noel Baker.

The Graham Dwyer trial yesterday heard from two men who met Elaine O’Hara through a website catering for alternative sexual tastes. The murder trial jury also saw Ms O’Hara’s profile page from that website, in which she said she hoped to meet someone caring.
