Scannal revisits the shooting of widowed mother Annie Gillespie and her only daughter Anne by the daughter’s ex-boyfriend, John Gallagher in Sligo General Hospital’s car-park. Anne Gillespie from Ballybofey had ended her three year relationship with Lifford man John Gallagher. Unhappy with her decision, Gallagher’s behaviour became increasingly erratic in the weeks leading up to her death. Anne and Annie were in fear for their safety and Anne had confided in a teacher “If I don’t have police protection by this time next week you’ll be singing at my funeral.” These words would prove chilling and prophetic.
