Murders are a relatively rare occurrence in Ireland, but when one does occur it typically shocks the country to its core. Malcom Macarthur an eccentric socialite is undoubtedly one Ireland’s most infamous murders. In the summer of 1982, after Malcom had depleted his hefty family inheritance, a family whom he had deep rooted issues of endured childhood abuse would devise a sinister plan of a series of unbelievable and bizarre robberies to continuing living the life of luxury, ending in a double murderer and Malcom being arrested in the home of Ireland’s Attorney General at the time. So, was this a man who had endured childhood trauma that turned him into a cold-blooded killer or was this a sinister mind that loved wealth and would go to any means to keep being a man of leisure?
