Description

In September 1966 the body of a baby girl – Lynda Cochrane – was discovered at Ballykinler Army Base in County Down. It wasn’t until 2006 when former soldier Harry Doyle was arrested after telling an ex-lover that his disability was an act of divine punishment for the killing of a baby. Just months before he was due to stand trial, he died. 

 

Former Detective Superintendent Tim Hanley led the investigation into Northern Ireland’s longest cold case – he joins Ciarán Dunbar.
