It was one of the biggest investigations in the State's history. The murder of a detective in the course of duty. A crime that sent shockwaves across the country.

Aaron Brady, a thug from Crossmaglen, Co Armagh, was the lead suspect from early in the case. His alibi didn’t add up and changed on several occasions.

Pat Marry, the senior investigating officer, was closing in on Brady and beginning to gather evidence that would support his investigation.

However, Aaron Brady boarded a flight to Newark, with no intention of ever returning. Pat’s man had vanished, and with Brady now living in US, the case took on a different challenge - an international police investigation that would span multiple years.

The result was the longest murder trial in the history of the Irish State. One filled with witness intimidation and dirty tricks, in a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Today on The Indo Daily, in the final episode on the 2013 killing of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe, Fionnán Sheehan is joined by Irish Independent journalist Robin Schiller and Pat Marry, the former senior investigating officer on the case - who are co-authors of Murder in Lordship: Inside the Hunt for a Detective's Killer - to discuss the work in bringing Brady back to Ireland, and the farcical nature of his trial.
