Gardaí apologise to family of man wrongly charged with murder

The Garda has reportedly issued a public apology to the family of a man who was wrongly arrested and charged in connection with the 1997 Grangegorman murders.

Dean Lyons, a 24-year-old homeless man and heroin addict, was arrested shortly after 59-year-old Sylvia Sheils and 61-year-old Mary Callinan were brutally stabbed to death at a psychiatric hospital in the Grangegorman area of Dublin in March 1997.
