The Scissor Sisters: A Crime of Trauma
Summary: The Republic of Ireland was rocked to the core when two sisters were convicted of the brutal murder and dismemberment of their mother’s boyfriend. Sounds like an open and shut case, right? However, investigators would come to find a tangled web of abuse, fear and trauma – a web so complex that it's hard to determine who the real villain is here. Join me, Annie, along with our special guest host, Miranda, as we unfold the tragic story of the Scissor Sisters – the victims who became murderers.
