There have never been so many killers in Irish prisons. Nearly 1 in 10 Irish prisoners are serving life sentences for murder - and many more are on temporary release. Hardened crime reporter Barry Cummins tells the shocking true stories of some of Ireland's most notorious murderers and their horrific crimes. Lifers covers savage killings going back more than 50 years. This book gives a full account of these depraved crimes, through the investigation, trial and sentencing of the killers to life in prison. They include:
- Father-of-five John Crerar, convicted on DNA evidence from a semen sample 23 years after he brutally raped, battered and strangled an innocent young woman who had been out Christmas shopping;
- Mark Nash, who stabbed a couple to death in a frenzied attack and seriously assaulted another woman in a house where six children lay sleeping;
- Brian Willoughby, who jumped and danced on his teenage victim's head, while out on bail for three horrific random assaults on men in Dublin city.
