Raonaid Murray was just at that point in her teens where her childish features were transforming into a newly defined adult beauty. In her early teens, she had hung around with a group of young Goths in Dun Laoghaire.

''Saturday, September 4, 1999 was a warm late-summer day. The evening before had been misty, still and humid. It was one of the last warm Friday nights of the summer and people had been socialising and dining in their back gardens in Glenageary.
A group of friends still sitting outside just before midnight in their back garden in Silchester Road heard a girl shouting something like "Leave me alone!" "Go away!"and, they agreed, " off" around midnight. Then the sounds stopped and they paid no further attention.''
''The man in charge of the IRA's 'England' division, responsible for bombings and other attacks in Britain, lived quietly in a large semi-detached house not far from where Raonaid was murdered.''

''Raonaid was stabbed multiple times, with death caused by one of four wounds that deeply penetrated her shoulder, severing an artery.
She survived only long enough to crawl about 200 feet out of the laneway where she had been attacked and into Silchester Crescent, just around the corner from where she lived. Some of the estimated 31 stab wounds barely penetrated her light clothing.''

'Her assailant could have been male or female. That, sources confirmed last week, remains the case. There was at least one female suspect, a young woman who had family links to the IRA. She was known for her aggressive and violent behaviour.
''In all, 210 men and women were earmarked as potential suspects, 'persons of interest'.
One of these was Farah Swaleh Noor, the violent, drink- and drug-addicted Somali immigrant who was killed and then dismembered by 'Scissor sisters' Linda and Charlotte Mulhall in March 2005.''
