The Achill Atrocity - Ireland True crime
News of the Times Episode 332 | 1894
It is 1894 on a remote island in Ireland and a fire has taken place at one of the larger estate houses.
Agnes M’Donnel is found, barely alive, her face has been bashed repeatedly and it appears that her nose and part of her lip have been bitten off. She unexpectedly and miraculously survives.
Once fully conscious, Agnes is able to give full details of the night of the crime and points the finger decisively on an ex-employee she had given notice to: James Lynchehaun.
With the story taking place during the arson attacks on country homes then happening in Ireland, the initial question arises whether this was personal or a political statement?
We trace the antecedents of this unusual story and the many twists and turns of the Achill Atrocity in today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
