What happened
Farah Swaleh Noor was killed in Dublin in 2005 in a case that became widely known through the prosecution of sisters Linda and Charlotte Mulhall.
The investigation
Police were initially confronted with unidentified remains recovered from a canal. Identification and interviews led investigators to the Mulhall family and to a reconstruction of events inside a Dublin apartment.
What the courts or investigators concluded
The sisters were convicted of offenses arising from Noor’s death and received substantial prison sentences.
Why the case remains significant
The sensational nickname given to the defendants often overshadowed the victim; responsible retellings center Noor and the investigative process rather than the label.
